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.

Great news! TransferWise has once again received the recognition it deserves. This great Estonian success story has saved people many millions of Euros/Dollars/Pounds across the globe by eliminating hidden bank fees. It's a truly fantastic service that I have used many times and will surely use again in the future.
