I loved the fact that you can travel to other countries easily and inexpensively (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, etc.). At the same time, I think the city gets monotonous fast compared to other places where I lived in a similar size. Estonian people don't appear to be very active.

It's not even safe to walk a short distance at night (locals told me to just take Uber).

There are also plenty of WeWorks scattered across the city if you need somewhere consistent to work.
