About Me

I trust life and I trust people.
I love good music and I love listening to people.

I graduated from the university and since then I'm rediscovering myself. Searching for things I like, places I want to be in and people I want to be with. It doesn't mean that I've put my past completely aside though.

In 2014 I volunteered at an organic farm in the north of Germany. It was a really great experience and I learned a lot! After getting back to St. P I worked at an IT company for almost a year and now I'm teaching English and German at a Waldorf school in a village near St. Petersburg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's pretty commonplace, but I think that it's better to discover a new city with the help of its locals. It's a great way to get to know new people and other cultures.

My couchsurfing experience is not that massive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I hitchhiked through Scotland and was just in time for the ferry to Northern Ireland.

I went hiking without any equipment and my friends helped me out. They are the most amazing part of my life.

I climbed up for 2 meters and fell down on the arms of the people I saw for the first time in my life.
