I am obsessed with photography. I’m not a pro or anything, but I love capturing the "in-between" moments—the way the light hits the fog over the sea, my friends laughing so hard they're crying, or the cool, weird street art you find hidden in the back alleys of Kalamaja. Besides that, I live for my morning coffee and that feeling of getting lost in a good book. I also have a secret passion for old-school synthesizers and dream pop music. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE thrifting. Finding a vintage jacket that has a story to tell is my favorite kind of treasure hunt.

My biggest dream is to travel the world and document it through my photos. I want to take a train across Europe, maybe end up in a tiny, artsy town in Italy or explore the fjords in Norway. I’ve saved up a little bit from my café job, and I'm planning a solo trip next spring. Long-term? I want to combine my love for tech and art. I’d love to study interactive media design at a university somewhere abroad, maybe in the Netherlands. I want to create something beautiful and useful, you know? My main goal right now is just to find my own path, meet interesting people, and soak up as much of the world as I can before I have to "adult" for real. I just want to feel free and make sure that when I look back in 10 years, I have amazing stories to tell.

Okay, so, my name is Asha and I’m 18. I live in Tallinn, Estonia, but my soul definitely belongs somewhere between the old town’s cobblestone streets and the digital world. I work part-time in a cozy little café in the city center, which is actually the best gig ever because I get to meet people from all over the world and practice my English (and my people-watching skills). I love the fact that we have four distinct seasons here, even though winter feels like it lasts for a decade. I’m that friend who’s always dragging everyone out for a midnight walk in the snow or to pick mushrooms in the forest in autumn.

Honestly? I really dislike rude people and unnecessary drama. Life is too short for that. Also, I hate that weird, slushy snow that comes in spring—it's not beautiful, it's just wet and depressing. I’m not a fan of strict rules that don't make sense, and I really don’t like when people are glued to their phones 24/7 while the real world is happening right in front of them. Also, pickles. They’re everywhere in this country and I just can’t. Sorry.

I’d be happy if you joined my private club; you’ll get lots of exclusive content there, and I’d also love to chat with you off-stream.
