Hi there! My name is Anna. At the present time I live in St. Petersburg and work in Montessori school. I actually love it!)
I practice meditation called Heartfulness. It's helped me to feel and live the life another way that I knew.
Still I didn't find my perfect place for living, but now my heart belongs to Italy)
My big goal as a traveller is walking in some country, travel on foot between towns. So now I'm walking a lot everywhere)
Also I hope to try sailing again this summer)
Unfortunately now I can't to accept guests in my home(it's realy pity because I like to care about people) but I definitely glad to meet you in St. Petersburg for walking, talking and have a good time together. And I know the best coffee and jazz places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS many years, but still I didn't use this community to travel. In the beginning I thought my English is not enough to talk with people, after this I travelled every year only in India, where I met many amazing people and improved my English, but still speak not very good.(i think you have to know about this fact))
And just now my soul and spirit of the adventures have called me).
I never liked to travel as an usual tourist. And actually I'm not big lover of sightseeing. My goal is to feel world and life, to feel everywhere at home. I think you know what I mean)

Interests

Me and my friend have the English book club. With other participants we choose and read the book every month. After this we have a meeting. I love it very much)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I hitch-hiked in Russia 2500 km. Not so much but it was great experience to trust the world.
Co-piloted the plane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the meditation, it's the great thing. To show how to choose and make good coffee. And cook some Russian food, it's vegetarian variations))
And if you need the consultation how to understand your children, I'm at your service)
