I work as a guide on Saaremaa and Muhu islands, using all kinds of wheels—except carts and trains. I’ll tell you stories from the prison cell to the grand salon.

"Guiding experience since 2001. I enjoy sharing fascinating stories about Saaremaa’s history and Kuressaare Castle, and showing the island’s most beautiful places to both distant visitors and locals alike. So what else is there to say but: 'Come to the island, Sa...' Let’s explore Saaremaa together!

In a former life, I spent years at sea — now I tell stories as a guide about Kuressaare, Saaremaa, and Estonia. I also work as a guide at the Estonian Maritime Museum, both at the Seaplane Harbour and Fat Margaret.
