15 things about my first BJJ camp trip in Estonia

1. Why Estonia? My friends thought I was crazy for going to Estonia alone. “Where even is that? Sounds dangerous,” they said. But I was going there for a BJJ camp. If it wasn’t safe, why would the organizers choose it? Plus, I’d seen enough Globetrotters content to know that this part of Europe has [ ]
