Hey! I’m Sara, an 18-year-old from Tallinn, Estonia. I just finished high school last spring and I’m currently in my “gap year”, trying to figure out what’s next. I live with my mom and my younger brother, and our home is this cozy mix of Estonian and Russian – mom’s fully Estonian, dad’s Russian (they split up when I was little), so I grew up speaking both languages perfectly, plus English, which feels like my third native tongue. I love that about my home – it feels like a little cultural crossroads. I’ve been dancing folk dances since I was seven – first in school, then in a proper ensemble. All those intricate steps and colorful national costumes are my connection to my Estonian roots. But my secret passion is digital illustration. I spend hours on my tablet, drawing whimsical forest spirits and modern, minimalist portraits. I dream of maybe combining art and technology in my studies, but I’m not rushing.
