Okay, this is hard because I love a lot of things, but the top of my list is definitely music and road trips. I spend hours making playlists for every possible mood. I love driving (or even just taking the bus) through the pine forests outside the city with my headphones on, watching the scenery blur by. It’s my form of meditation. I also really love thrift shopping. Finding old Estonian knitwear or weird vintage jackets and giving them a new life is my favorite hobby. It’s like a treasure hunt, and it’s way better for the planet than fast fashion. I guess I just love things that have a story to them.

My biggest dream right now is to travel and see more of the world. I love Estonia, but I feel like I need to step out of my comfort zone. My main goal is to move to somewhere like Copenhagen or Berlin for a year to study visual communication or graphic design. I want to meet people from different places and just soak up a different culture. Long term, I want to combine my love for nature and art. My dream job would be doing something creative, maybe designing album covers for bands or working for a sustainable outdoor brand. Ultimately, I just want to build a life where I feel free and happy, not stuck in an office all day. And I definitely want to get a dog as soon as I have a stable place to live!

Hey! I'm Marva, I'm 18 years old, and I'm from Tallinn, Estonia. I just graduated from high school this spring, so right now my life feels like a weird in-between stage—finished with one chapter and trying to figure out where the next one begins. I love how cozy and digital Estonia is, but I also have a huge passion for the outdoors. You’ll often find me in the winter with my friends in the old town, grabbing hot chocolate, or in the summer, escaping the city to go camping somewhere near a lake. I'm super into photography, especially analog. There's just something about waiting to develop film that makes a moment feel more special than just tapping a screen.

Honestly, I really dislike the pressure to have my whole life figured out right now. It feels like everyone is asking, "So, what are you doing next?" and expects a perfect 10-year plan. I don't know yet! I like taking my time. I’m also not a fan of people who are fake or two-faced. Life’s too short for that drama. Oh, and rainy days in the city when you forgot your umbrella—that’s the absolute worst. It gets so grey and drizzly here sometimes, and it just seeps into your mood.
