CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world, developing better relations between countries.

ABOUT ME

I`m a positive person, a real optimist, quite energetic girl with lots of ideas about everything. I`m a sociologist by my first diploma and a teacher by my second one. I graduated from St.Petersburg State University and I think this education gave me really a lot!
I own a small business, a language school in the centre of St.Ptersburg, where I work as a development director and a teacher of Russian and French. The main language we teach in this school is Finnish, and this is one of my favourite languages. I love Finland, Finnish language and culture, I have some Finnish friends in St.Petersburg and in Finland and my main goal is to develop friendly and productive relations between our countries.
I really like traveling, both in Russia and outside the country and I like accepting guests from different countires around the world.

My dream is to go to South America, to the Antarctic, to Nepal, to Cabo Verde and to the most interesting and inspiring places of the world!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal phylosophy is an interesting, full of events life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I`ve heard about this project from my friend and decided to try. Now I quite actively participate in this project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fist Couch Surfing Experience:
My first couchsurfing experience was in FInland, so far I started learning Finnish language and beacame a fan of this language! I stayed for 2 days in Helsinki, and it was a great experience. I have been many times to Finland before, but I`ve never been able to discover the culture, to connect Finnish people! And there I found Sami, who was glad to host me and to tell about Finland, it was very interesting!
Then I accepted some couch surfers at my place and I went to Finland some times by CS. Also I met some people to drink a cup of tea and speak. One of the best CS experience was on the Madeira Island, where we met Domingos, who could show us the island and tell many stories, and he spoke Russian!
