    • #26 Brothers Joy and Jessi Verano from Peru to Estonia: I think that in Peru we should know more about Estonia

      Something special - not only one guest but two! :O 

      Joy and Jessi are brothers who have lived in Estonia 8/10years and have few things to share! They're both passionate about the finance world, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and building businesses. Besides that they are super impressed with Estonian nature, love walking in the forest or in the bog, winter swimming, and yes sauna as well!

      Not only do we talk about Estonia, but they share their TOP must-know-about-Peru facts and explain how can one catch a bus in Lima and what's up with their “Two hour consideration rule”?

    • #25 Avishek Tarun from India to Estonia: I applied to 300 different job offers, before moving to Estonia

      This time we're heading to India or to be more exact India is coming to us through a highly energetic young guy Avishek Tarun! 🥳🥳

      He introduces himself as a simple data guy - but what does it mean? It's quite remarkable, that Avishek spent 3 years and filled in over 300 job applications since he already knew, he wants to move to Estonia (or to Berlin)!

      We'll hear what's up with frozen veggies or the lack of them in India, how Indian people distinguish between spicy and hot foods.

      How do Indian people plan their time without using a calendar?

      And how he had to relearn how to make compliments in Estonia 😅

    • #22 Nikki Tan from Singapore to Estonia: The air in Estonia is impossibly clean

      Listen to how Nikki explains what it’s been like to travel the world as a digital nomad and how is it different from being a slow nomad. 

      Why after living in Estonia for three years, she still appreciates Estonian air quality and how clean it is!

      She loves the sauna in her apartment (despite coming from a warm country), and tells why it’s hard to eat green leafy vegetables in Estonia.

      She is amazed by our sour creme and dairy selection and compares it to tofu choices in Asian countries. 

      You might also ask, what’s up with giving our red envelopes and tangerines when you visit someone? And even if you didn’t ask it - we will talk about it! :) 


      So stay tuned and enjoy hearing Nikki’s story!

    • #21 Mihaela Benedicitie from Moldova to Estonia: even if you move to Antarctica, you know you are a Moldovian!

      How can one Moldovian woman, who has lived in Estonia for 6+ years, say that she doesn’t feel like an Estonian, rather “Kohilane”?

      *Why you shouldn’t go hitchhiking in Moldova?

      *Is Moldova actually a giant Soviet-styled Escape room?
      * What does it mean, if you spit on Moldovian field something is pound to grow?
      * If being naked in a sauna was easy for her, what was the hard part?

      Come and enjoy Miha’s very lively personality explaining how she first moved to Estonia. Starting to live in a village with just around 3000 people altogether, is it worth it?

      Miha has a very colorful way of explaining everything to us, starting from the languages used in Moldova. Then sharing her transforming journey from studying architecture, learning woodworking, and now being immersed in Fin-tech and the world of numbers.
