Raised in the United States with an Estonian mother and British father, they reflect on their family heritage, Estonian traditions, and what it’s like to study at UT. They also talk about their experience in the Estonian military and offer practical tips for other foreigners navigating life here. Curious about Estonia through the eyes of foreign Estonians?
