About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying summer in Saint Petersburg. Do you want to join?)

ABOUT ME

An easy-going person, who likes to have fun. I devote a lot of time to study languages, but my type of studyings is talking to people while making site-seing or hanging out in bars or clubs) I probably have this mysterious russian soul about which you've heard a lot, but actually I'm a soul of the world and sometimes I feel that I have wings)
I also have worked as a guide, so I guess I can help you with getting some new things about the city, but unfortunatly I cannot talk in boring guide-style and you will have to listen to very messy and full of jokes story about my country and Petersburg))))

PHILOSOPHY

There are much more good people than bad, and some exceptions just prove this rule.
Opening the borders in the world will open the borders in our minds.

Interests

sports (fencing, volleyball, football, sweaming), music (I'm playing myself the flute and the guitar a little), dancing (I wish I could dance tango!..), poetry, photagraphy, chilling out, meeting new people, engoying the every moment of my life))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

You can always contact me, if you want to learn something about Saint Petersburg, but you always get bored with guides and excursions. With me you will never get bored (espessially if you're not boring)))) and we can see the city together and discover some mysteries about how russian people can be so strange and why Saint Petersburg is so beautiful)
