Hello there! My name is Gleb, and I am passionate about combining various types of cultural heritage. Browsing magnificent cities of the Baltics with a map in your hands is fun, but hearing the stories behind different landmarks enhances your experience and often makes you view the city's landscape from a new angle. After spending a fantastic year as the guide who introduced Tartu's heart to international visitors, I am here to show the multilayered story of Tallinn.
