Estonia

I’ve had a heck of a week. On Tuesday, I flew to Helsinki to attend Slush 2021 on Wednesday and Thursday. It was a pretty good conference that was geared towards European startups and VCs. I’ll probably write a lot more about it tomorrow when I’ve got a bit more brain capacity.

For now, I’m absolutely beat and going to keep this short. The jet lag and conference events caught up to me quickly. I slept quite a bit on my 2 hour ferry ride over to Tallinn and then again when I got back to my hotel.

Tallinn is a very cool city minus the freezing cold temperatures in the winter. It’s an old medieval town with lots of modern buildings surrounding it. I had a blast walking around today and I plan on doing a walking tour later today.

In terms of Estonia as a country, I have heard that it’s a big tech hub with lots of young engineers. The country has prioritized technology and the country is growing rapidly because of that. Someone even told me that the fastest internet in the world is in Estonia.

I’m excited to go out tonight and meet some of the locals and see what the country is all about.
