I was born in St. Petersburg one day with the writer Pushkin - June 6. As a child, I knew about traveling only from movies. Very love of the films "Roman Holidays" and "Gone with the Wind." I imagined that when I grew up I would also walk the streets of Rome, or even fly across the ocean to walk in the vast expanses of Georgia (USA).

Some of my dreams have already come true. At 18, I went on my first trip. It was on the territory of Russia - on the Black Sea. In one year I went abroad - to Greece. I fell in love with this country forever.

Then there were France, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Cyprus, Tunisia, Estonia, Latvia. And I want this list to continue. I want to talk about cinema with people from all corners of this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about the country from the most unconventional view.
I do not want to go on boring excursions and listen to guides.
I want to listen to local residents who know the unusual places best to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you come to Petersburg, I will take you to the cozy parks, in which there is no mass of tourists. I bring to the theater grounds and art spaces. I'll tell you where in the city you can eat cheap and delicious, which museum should go and even ride on a kayak right on the main river of the city - the Neva.

If you accept me in your home, I will tell you about Russia what is not told in the news. About our customs, traditions, jokes. I'll teach you how to cook "draniki" and russian dumplings. I'll tell you about images from Russian folk tales. And I'll explain why eating ice cream at minus 20 degrees is normal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good mood and knowledge of Russia.

Countries I’ve Visited
