About Me

I am from one of the most beautiful and cozy cities in Russia - Saint-Petersburg. I am friendly and easy-going and open to create new good stories about our journey. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because I suppose that the best way to understand and to see a country is to communicate with locals. I'm also very inspired and always excited to show my city and my beloved hided places in Saint-Petersburg.
And of course I would like to meet new people and find new good friends.
I think stay with locals is the best way to know a country because a country is not only made of its landscapes and its cultural treasures, but most especially of its inhabitants.

Interests

Arts: paintings, architecture, sculpture, literature, religion, movies.

I like traveling, but i don't to make a photo, because I want to see it with my own eyes

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you drawing, Russian language, to laugh at the failures)
Maybe I can teach you some Russian recipe, though my knowledge are limited, but i can teach to make the dumplings perfectly :D

I want to learn from people of different cultures, discovering new ways of thinking, tasting amazing food

Мaybe i can share to play tank drum . It is a round steel drum originally fashioned from a propane tank.The instrument is played with the fingers or with mallets. The tone is bell-like. And it is very meditative.
