It all started when i was about 12.
Times were very different. Estonia had just regained its independence from the USSR and we, as a collective, were experiencing the taste of freedom and along with it what western society brought. One of those things was better technology. My father bought a boat with a small Japanese engine and I started going fishing with it.. At that time, this was something very few people could have, there we literally no motor boats at the sea.
Back then, we kids were different—we could operate machinery and navigate life like adults. We had to. Having shown great stamina in dealing with rising issues and fixing them on site, my parents trusted me with the boat to venture out to the sea and nearby islands.
Quickly, one of my favorite places became a tiny island off the coast (about 20km out)—so distant that eyes could barely see it from shore. The islands shore was home for a seal colony. I loved to go there and be with them. Soon I started taking my family and their friends to that place, to share that mystical experience with seals.
That was the starting point of my travel guide career. It didn't last too long, as life started happening in other ways, taking me through various landscapes and experiences. It took almost three decades to find my way back to the dream of my youth—to be a guide that helps people reconnect with nature.
WHAT I OFFER TODAY
Three decades later, I'm still navigating to secret islands. Only now, they are more in the midst of magical landscapes of our sacred forests existing in various dimensions the maps wont guide you to.
Mystical Estonia - For the ones visiting Estonia from abroad. Fair warning: something irreversible happens here. You don't just visit Estonia—Estonia visits you back, changing you from the inside out. This land is unique, mystical, and mythical.
Muinastee - The Ancient Path - Think of it as GPS for the soul, calibrated by our ancestors who knew exactly where they were going.
Both journeys lead to the same destination—the remembering of who you truly are. What happens along the way belongs to the mystery itself.
The 12-year-old in me is still out there on that boat, following the seals to impossible places. Only now I know the biggest secret of all—the most magical island was never "out there."
