Estonia - Paradise of the North

Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.

Congratulations to Katriin Laanet & Mikk Rajaver - Winners of the Salsa Reality T.V. Series 'Casa de Baile'

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that my cousin Katriin Laanet and dance partner Mikk Rajaver won the Casa de Baile salsa dancing competition in Tallinn on Tuesday night. What began as an exercise to overcome the fear of public dancing soon bloomed into a newfound passion. Congratulations to you both! I'm a proud cousin today!
