Visiting Kuressaare castle on Saaremaa island
One of the best parts about being a digital nomad in Estonia, is getting to work from anywhere and explore all the interesting parts of this beautiful Baltic country, and the island of Saaremaa does not disappoint on this!
If you’re knowledge of Estonia isn’t all that, Saaremaa is the largest island of over 2000, and located in the Baltic Ocean to the west of Tallinn. It is known for its natural beauty, historic landmarks, and traditional way of life. The island has a population of around 35,000 people (Not far off the population of Kendal) and covers an area of 2600 square kilometres, which is about half the size of Northumberland.
Visiting the Kaali crater in Estonia, a gigantic lake created by a huge meteorite!
Saaremaa Island in Estonia is home to a fascinating natural wonder that’s not well known outside the country: the Kaali crater. As a digital nomad, I had the pleasure of visiting this unique group of nine meteorite craters during my time in Estonia, and it was a truly unforgettable experience!
Despite the snow-covered landscape during my visit in winter, the craters were still a sight to behold. Information boards located near the craters provided in-depth knowledge about their formation and significance, making it a great experience for those interested in geology and the history of our planet.
