About Me

ABOUT ME

Friendly and positive. I like traveling, new impressions and nature. And birds.

PHILOSOPHY

To explore the world through traveling and communication with people in different countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to go in the suburbs of Saint-Petersburg in the evenings after work. I would be glad to show you beautiful parks of tzar's residences, when you travel here. We can visit Catherine park in Tzarskoe Selo (Pushkin) http://eng.tzar.ru/ (my favorite) or Oranienbaum (#2 in my rating), Pavlovsk, Gatchina. By the way, in the evening all these tzar's residences looks different than during the day, not so touristy. Or we can organize hiking in the forest (I love it!) in weekend or make a picnic on some beach of Baltic Sea. It is very interesting to meet new people, especially from different countries and cultures. I drive a car Renault Duster. See you in Saint-Petersburg!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted several people, walked with couchsurfers in Saint-Petersburg and in other countries, was the couchsurfer in several trips. Enjoyed very much! Hope to continue. Great project!

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer comedies and romantic stories. :) Movies with Cameron Diaz, for example.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll write later. Need to think. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach? Probably Russian language. Perhaps I can tell something about Russian history and about Saint-Petersburg. And I can cook with you some dishes of Russian cuisine.

Can you tell me about best national parks in your country? And about interesting sites for birdwatching?
