***I host only in exchange for cultural experience. If you're not interested in Russia and not willing to share your culture in response - it's better to choose another host.***

❤ While I'm in SPb it would be a great pleasure for me to show a bit of the cultural capital of Russia. I prefer cities to any kind of natural environments (even though I've been studying ecology in university for seven years =)

🔑And I dooo love my city in its various aspects, all of them. I can show you

- a mystical Saint Pe,
- hipsters' districts,
- my favourite secret dives and vegetarian cafes,
- run-down areas downtown,
- museums and street art,
- venues where youngsters gather,
- squares that are awesome for skatebording,
- the best embankments where citizens drink wine,
- and if you are a lucky - I can take you to a musical/ theatre rehearsal, local plays, underground cinema and concerts.

People say that I'm a good guide, so I'll try to elicit your preferences through strange questions and match you with the best part of Saint Petersburg.

It's really the best city, you just need to find the right place for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the amazing inspiration that travelling gives us!

I think it's critical to stay inspired and preserve the connection with your Muse if you want to do great work in your field.

Interests

My current passions are digital marketing, city culture and history.

I play the guitar, teach English, do skateboarding and hiking, go sightseeing and roofing, organise events in English, do marketing, learn history and write a bit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Stanley Kubrick's works especially "Shining", "2001: Space Odissey", David Lynch's "Twin peaks", David Bowie and Velvet Underground, T.Rex, The Doors, Sonic Youth, Placebo and IAMX.

I used to read a lot, but now don't read at all and try to learn from real life =) That's true. Tons of books on marketing, psychology and business is exception.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped off the roof from 25 metres in wintertime (rope jumping).
I've spent all my childhood in a tiny north town without Internet and MTV =)

I've radically changed my career path - after seven years of ecology jumped into Marketing and Project Management and absolutely happy with that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a herbarium =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live on the embankment of Fontanka river in the heart of Kolomna - it's a historical district in the centre of Saint Petersburg. Its amazing atmosphere has inspired many Russian authors - Pushkin, Dostoyevsky and a bunch of other cool people lived there at different times.
