Music, Movies, and Books

I'm listening different kinds of music, it depends of my mood at the moment. The same with books - personally, I don't have my favorite authors, but about books... well, according to my Goodreads profile, it's Llosa's The War of the end of the World, Potocki's Manuscript found in Saragossa and Shinkuba's The Last of the Departed (i bet that you've never heard about this book, it's a soviet authors only novel about the deportation and survive of the whole nation from the last days of Russian empire to the new Turkey. Believe me, it's much better than Shantaram).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I've done Camino de Santiago in Spain. I didn't planned it. I have a big holiday off from my job, so, I've decided to go to Spain for a month, and when at the second day of my journey I've visited the city of Pamplona I've became sick of that idea. And I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, it's always interesting - to meet people from different places in the world, who raised in other cultures, who has the different point of view on this world. Sharing your thoughts with them - it's unforgettable experience

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm renting a very small apartment, so, unfortunately, I can't host any one. But when I'm at St. Petersburg - feel free to ask me about accommodation, I'm using CS for so long, and I understand, what SC members usually need.

Also, even if I'm not in St. Petersburg, feel free to ask me about the city - I will recommend you all the best spots and I could help you to plan your journey to the most beautiful city in Northern Europe. I was working as a tour guide, so, I'm totally in.

Unfortunately, I know Santiago much worse, that St. P, so I'm the worst guide here (I'm living here more than half of a year and I still didn't visit any museum or historical spot except ones in the center.
