TURN ON:Oh, this is easy! First, music. It’s my everything. I create these weird playlists that jump from Estonian folk to Argentine tango and indie pop. I play the guitar a bit, mostly for myself. Then, photography. I love taking my old film camera and capturing those long, moody Estonian sunsets by the sea, or the chaotic, colorful details of the Balti Jaam market
TURN OFF:Ugh, where to start? Small-mindedness. When people judge others for being different or not fitting into a strict box. I’ve gotten some looks for my name or my “too emotional” personality, and it’s just exhausting. The pressure to have my whole life figured out right now. Everyone keeps asking about university and my “plan,” and sometimes I just want to scream that I don’t know yet! Really dark
ABOUT ME:Hey! I'm Lucila. Yeah, I know, it's not a typical Estonian name—my mom is Argentine, and my dad is from Tallinn. So I grew up here in Estonia, surrounded by forests and the sea, but with the warmth of Latin American rhythms and mate tea at home. I just turned 18 and finished high school in Tallinn. I’m currently in that weird, exciting gap year phase, trying to figure out what’s next. I work part-time at this cute little café in the Old Town, saving up for travels. I feel like a mix of two worlds: the calm, introspective Estonian side of me loves quiet winter nights, while the fiery, expressive Argentine side comes out when I'm dancing or debating with friends. I’m fluent in Estonian, English, Spanish, and I’m okay in Russian. My life feels like a constant puzzle, but I kinda like putting the pieces together.
