After that, she’s been living in the UK and Netherlands, volunteered in Nepal and India, and traveled to countless countries through her work around creating social impact. She always thought that living abroad is somehow easier. That she can be this anonymous person, doing whatever and returning to Estonia seemed more difficult somehow.
