I work as a tourist guide with english-speaking tourists and many of them are from America. My tourist told me a lot about the US and I feel that it is very important to visit this country to understand them better and to broaden my horizons. Planning to do it in March 2017.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are two reasons why I'm on Couchsurfing. First, hotels in NY and other big cities in America appeared to be very expensive. Even more expensive than in London, to my great surprise. Second reason is that I'm very sociable and I would like to meet new people while in US, to see how people live, what do they do. Unfortunately, our countries have been isolated for a long time because of politics, and we do not know much about each other. Now when world in united we have a chance to meet up and talk about life as we know it.

Interests

My main interests are arts and history. I studied world history in the university, and I studied arts to become a tour guide. In great extent it is a museum tour, I'm planning to visit main museums of NY, Boston, Chicago and Washington. I'm also interested in music and theater (so Broadway shows are on my list), design and good food;) I'm studying psychology now as MA student, so it is also a big part of my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about Russia and other countries I've been. I really traveled a lot and I also lived in South Korea for 2 years. In exchange I can organize you a wonderful tour in St. Petersburg and Moscow if you decide to visit my country! In some cases I even can be your host, I have one extra bed in my apartment in St. Petersburg. As a tour guide I know lots of funnny stories from my tourists and I can say that I'm open-minded, cheerful and interesting companion. What is important, I'm tactful and quiet guest, so I won't disturb you and will be very grateful for housing or company.
