Turn ons:

Okay, my absolute favorite thing is photography. Not the posed, perfect Instagram kind (though I do post sometimes), but capturing moments. The way the light hits the Old Town cobblestones in October, or my friend's genuine, unguarded laugh. My camera is my extra limb. Besides that, I'm obsessed with music. I go to festivals like Tallinn Music Week and Positivus every chance I get.

Turn offs:

Ugh, let's see. I really don't like narrow-mindedness. When people judge others just for being different, for their choices, or where they're from. Estonia can feel small sometimes, and that attitude makes it feel even smaller. Small talk drains my energy so fast. I'd rather sit in comfortable silence than talk about the weather. I'm also not a fan of the long, dark winters.

About me:

Hey! I'm Clea, and I just turned 18. I was born and raised in Tallinn, Estonia, and I feel this crazy mix of being totally connected to this little digital nation and also dreaming super big. My life is like a playlist: one song is the calm, ancient forests and the Baltic sea, and the next is a fast-paced electronic beat. I just graduated from gymnasium, and honestly, I'm in that exciting (and slightly terrifying) gap year phase, trying to figure out my next move. I'm fluent in Estonian, English, and Russian, which feels like having different keys to different worlds. I live with my mom and my younger brother, and our apartment is always filled with the smell of coffee and the sound of us debating... well, everything. My personality? I'd say I'm a thoughtful introvert who can turn into a total chatterbox with my close friends. I love deep conversations about life, but I also have a silly side that loves stupid memes.
