ABOUT ME

I'm fond of languages. I'm working as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language in Saint-Petersburg, so my class is usually multicultural. That's really great to meet new students and help them to communicate using Russian, but not English, help them to break stereotipes.
I like helping people and friends - that's true. I want people around to be happy, I'm against violence and war.
I love nature and animals. I have 4 dogs at home and during long period of time we (together with my family) bred dogs.
I've been dancing flamenco for almost 8 yearsn and still do now and hope I won't give up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can meet you and help you to know more about Russia and St.Petersburg, the cuisine, language. At the moment I'm able to meet people and spend time with them walking around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some guests from Germany and Italy, together we were walking around Saint-Petersburg. Last year I was a csurfer for the first time and had an amazing experience. The matter is communication and culture sharing but not only just having a couch.
