Hi there! We are Nikita and Olga from Saint Petersburg, the North Venice of Russia.

We are passionate travellers (what a surprise you might say). Since 2010 when we first acquired a taste of financial independence we have been visiting four countries per year (on average).

Travelling the world helps us to evolve into more compassionate, responsible, and open-minded individuals. We believe that life is too short to jet up for consumer goods we don't really need. Instead, we follow our own life philosophy perfectly described by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, famous Russian writer: "Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

We use the service from time to time and are convinced that overall CS experience worth inconveniences caused for both sides.

Música, películas y libros

Well, let's say that if some band, movie or a novel provides food for thoughts/reflection or, even better, challenges deep-rooted beliefs, then it definitely gets into the list of our favourites.
