About Me

We are Alexandr and Viktoriya.
Welcome to St Petersburg!

ABOUT ME

eat, travel and startup.

I like hitchhiking, I like couchsurfing because I love meeting local people. This is the best way to travel and explore the country, people, culture.

Once I started to travel it became my passion.
So many places are not explored yet, people are not meet and local food is not eaten!

Since I like to eat I also like to cook! So let's cook something! I can cook Russian, Central Asian and Korean cuisine.

I was born in Soviet Union, grew up in Kazakhstan and live in Russia since 2006.
But I have Korean ancestry and speak Russian as a first language.

Finally, I'm an IT guy.
Now I'm working on my startup www.sputnik8.com to connect local guides and travellers.

PHILOSOPHY
