Have travelled a lot trough Russia. Have been to places from Kamchatka and Sybirea to Caucases and White Sea coast in the North. I've lived for 18 years in St.Petersburg and am being mocked at my politeness as a result.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to explore new countries and meet different people. My other goal is to persuade people that Russia is not as bad as it seems.
