Hi, my name is Alina and I am 28 year girl from Saint - Petersburg.
So, a little bit about me. I love to draw, invent, create and share my knowledge. By education I am an industrial designer. After finishing my education i won several design competitions, and then realized that I like to share my knowledge with children more than to engage in design. I got a second education and now I work as a teacher in The Peterhof State Museum-Reserve in childrens educational center. This is an incredibly beautiful place, with many different museums, parks, and fountains. There I have an oppotunity to teach children how to be creative, how to not be afraid to invent and embody what they conceived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to travel a lot, communicate with new people, listen to amazing stories, exchange ideas and thoughts. I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity for that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on the mood, it can be classical music or chillout, Led Zeppelin or something quite modern, and of course pop-music to dance. Now I mostly read books about the history of design and art, but I also like classical literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked for a couple of months in a volunteer international camp, conducted in a psycho-neurological boarding school for children and teenagers. This amazing experience realy changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge about the history of my city, art history and design. Teach you to draw something interesting, and how to work in Photoshop.

Countries I’ve Visited

Estonia, Finland, Greece, Spain
