On my first day in Tallinn, Estonia, I discovered myself on a ship. I'll never forget my first day there when I sat in that very small cabin with tears in my eyes and didn't understand how my mother and I were going to live there. But I eventually relaxed after taking a few walks around the area and realising how much space there was for studying and hanging out. Of course, I got my favourite places - the show bar, for example. It was very special for me. There, in the furthest corner, was a big sofa, where I usually sat and enjoyed the cool view. During my time on the boat, I have met all kinds of interesting people from different generations: artists, sculptors, chess players, athletes and just teenagers with whom I have enjoyed spending time and felt very comfortable. Each of them has their own story about how they ended up on the ship in Estonia. I am very glad that I got to know them. Each of these people brought something new into my life. I think I will keep in touch with some of them. I am very grateful to the staff who work on the ship. They really tried their best to make us feel comfortable living there.

I got so used to the ship that I didn't even want to leave. I was very sad because it really became my home for a while.
