Estonia has long thought of themselves as more Nordic. Thirty years ago they didn't have much of an argument. In July 2012 I went to Lviv for the first time. I told friends back in Tallinn that in comparison Estonia was definitely Nordic. :-)
looks like a fun place! I don't want to use money (which i don't have), nor even my American identity as an attractant. Just booked my Airbnb for March
@@tonyman187 Yeah, makes sense. Well if you ever want to visit the best times for visiting are either summer months or December (because of the Christmas stuff).
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience the languages are related, and there's a notable degree of mutual intelligibility, especially through old archaisms (enough so that Estonians were capable to self learn Finnish through Finnish media during the eighties). However these two are no mere dialects, and differences are much felt - one must learn the other's language for actual intelligibility. Think Dutch vs English for a rough comparison maybe.
@@ConorClyneTsarExperienceboth are like the same language but we as Estonians took/borrowed so many words from Germanic and Slavic language, because we were invaded so many times through the history. It's easier for me to understand Finnish than the other way around.
When were you there? I went in late June and the weather was perfect. I can recommend two things for your next trip; the Midsummer festival and Kennedys Irish Pub on Pikk in the old town. Cheers, Doug
What a nice video. I'll add some additional points. 1. Estonia is in NATO. 2. Safety. Beginning of the first grade, children are going to school by public transport by themselves. Does your country have it? 3. High level education. 41.2% of the working-age population have higher education. and it is rising. 4. We have the most unicorns per capita in the world.
Thanks Conor. Yes, beautiful and FREE Estonia. And no looking back. You want to meet nice, intelligent, pretty women, Estonia is the place. If you want younger, I would try Tartu first. Cheers.
It's most likely a woman who is willing to get married before having sex and understanding and accepting. the fact that men and women are different from each other.
In the Soviet times, Estonia lived much better than it does now. At least they had a real economy back then. Not any more. Today, Estonia is a good destination for tourists, but otherwise, there is no future.
Nice breakdown. Will take a trip soon
Good value info as always brother 👍

In 2024 that comparison is even more clear. 😊
Thank you. It looks similar to Northern Germany to me. Beautiful!
The German influence in strong in Estonia indeed
Nice video 👌

Highly recommend, been living there for almost 4 years now, it's great
@@limooueslati thanks
There will not be a lot of tourists in March so it is a good time to visit. You can see everything you want to see and not worry about other tourists.
AH, i just cancelled my reservation after realizing how long it will take to get the passport. Best to book after passport is in hand really

Estonia is indeed reminiscent of Finland. The languages are related, no? (Finno-Ugric languages are fiendishly difficult. Maybe not for you!)
I didn’t learn much Estonian and I don’t speak Finnish so it’s hard for me to say. 🤔

@ Ok, good to know. I’m considering learning Estonian in 2025.

The Midsummer festival sounds interesting. 😀
Generally the best time to visit is either in summer or around christmas time.

Kaja Kallas, the Prime Minister of Estonia is a hot blonde woman. 😍
She’s now the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs.
Estonians and Ukrainians weren't friends in the past. But now they are. We watch, we hope, we help and move on...
They are beautiful girls, but are they traditional? 😂 Great information! I look forward to visiting when the sun comes out again.
Yes, the weather should be amazing in Tallinn by early summer. 🌞 Estonians are ‘traditionally beautiful’ … 😉
What do most people do for jobs there? What do they produce for export? I don’t think I have seen anything in the USA from there?😊
they made a video game i played
IT is the biggest thing here. And Skype, Bolt and Wise are all from Estonia, also Starship delivery robots as well actually.
A lot of high tech stuff but mostly services.
cringe video as always bro 👍

One reason not Estonia: Russia is next door
Value for money? Please make an itemized list of what your taxes pay for in each country, instead of just focusing on a tax rate!
Public transport is free of charge for residents of Tallinn, for example.
I heard these women are very traditional. Is that true?
Define 'very traditional'.
most likely a women that want to get married before having sex. And understands and accepts the fact that men and women are different from each other

No
What do you mean no

You're definitely not Estonian
Lol how is communism better than Capitalism?
@@richardtoni3543 Soviet vatniks. loosers, thieves, brainless dumbos, communist elites surely lived all better back then.
Seems clear 😂
Bullshit. Estonia is doing better than ever nowadays.
Ooh.. Nice. I'd love to meet Estonian girls.. Gorgeous
