Yes, the snow started to melt a week ago in Tõrva. It was quite difficult to walk at first. Imagine that you go the 10-minute road in half an hour, in tiny steps. According to the Estonians, there was a little early spring breeze and the snow melted. I got used to living in the flaky snowy Tõrva but not yet to the slippery, windy and muddy Tõrva… It seems like we will face new weather challenges in March…
Saun ja tantsimine (Sauna and Dance): My favorite activity during my time in Tõrva is going to the sauna with local people (my co-work Regina and her neighbor Sirje). I don't remember if I mentioned it in every blog post, but as a classic Saturday activity, first enter the sauna and then eat something. You feel really hungry. Or like this is my stomach. :D This time we visited to Regina with Vici and Mylene. Sauna party started, we jumped to snow with Victoria. It was a painful event for my shoulders, but I didn't mind because I knew I would go into the 80-degree sauna afterwards. (You should definitely try it, it's an extremely relaxing activity mentally and physically.)
As I was saying. A treasure hunt event was held in early February.
We had 8 towns, 35 bags of treasures, 1 month to work out, all kinds of maps and diagrams, a brain half-filled with everyday tasks, and a whole set of ideas that had undergone changes and edits. Not that all this was absolutely necessary for the project, but if you have already begun to collect a collection, then you need to approach the matter seriously.
I just arrived in Estonia a month ago. This is my first independent trip abroad. We say "the first pancake is lumpy." So I thought when I was going to leave and did not know what to pack with me.
So I thought when I was in quarantine and looking at the fireworks in isolation. So I thought when I didn’t know if I could cope with the tasks assigned to me during the project ... The feeling that I am a wild cat, which was first released from the cage into the wild. Here is Valga. Here's her youth center. Here is Lüllemae and her youth center. Here Hargla, Tsirkulina, Viljandi and this cat rushed wherever they looked.

For me, the new year started with the same problems as the last one. Corona and the associated quarantine. After spending the first few days of 2021 in Germany I flew back to Tallinn from the new airport in Berlin, where I got tested for COVID-19 free of charge. I’d like to talk about how beautiful the capital of Estonia is, but city exploration doesn’t come in handy with a suitcase and a tired body and mind after two days of traveling. When I finally arrived in Valga and was picked up from my tutor, I barely noticed the snowy landscape of the country that build up over the time I spent in Germany.
So there I was again...quarantined in Estonia in a small village, but this time it was quite cold outside, so I had no intention to go for a walk. As a result of this not being my first quarantine, I consider myself an expert of killing endless hours in solitude.
