Hi! I'm Anna, I live in Saint Petersburg.
I've been passionate about traveling since I was a kid. Every weekend I watched travelers' TV shows and dreamed to become a documentary filmmaker and travel around the world.
Of course my life took a different turn :) But I still admire what a wonderful and beautiful world we live in, and I try to see as many parts of it as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see CS as one of the greatest opportunities to meet people you'd never meet and get an experience you'd never get in your daily life. No matter if you're surfing or hosting.
I believe that every person we meet on our path changes us and can teach us something.
