*** I always read attentively profiles of people that I want to meet, I'm curious about their interests and way of life. I think it helps to know in advance if you have any topics for conversation and avoid misunderstanding. So I want you to know more about me before communicating, that's why you see sooo much text here. :)
And of course if you like surprises you can skip all of this and just meet me anyway :) ***

I was born in a beautiful city - St.Petersburg. I met so many nice people who came there and I helped them to see the best of my city. Several years ago I moved to Naples, Italy.
After a long break I look forward to starting again my CS experience.
If you plan to visit Naples we can meet and walk around the city, I can show you some sightseeings etc. I also try to travel a lot and see different places.

If I ask you to host me it's very important to make you feel comfortable with me - I will respect your schedule, I'll be punctial, polite, grateful, I will appreciate your hospitality. And may be it is important for someone - I don't smoke and hardly bear the cigarette’s smell.

I speak English, Italian, Russian, some French and I've just started to learn German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to learn foreign culture, languages, meet new people and I think the best way to know other cities and countries is communicating with people who live there. CS already made my life better - thanks to it I got acquainted with very interesting persons and communicating with them enriched my life. I admire people who are intelligent, well-educated and are interested in traveling, languages, music, art, literature. I like to share knowledge, experience, impressions, emotions...

Interests

Traveling, music, theatre, art, nature, animals, photography, learning foreign languages.
It's important for me to be involved in cultural life and meet creative, interesting, well-educated people with similar interests.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kinds of music - sometimes I listen to classical music, sometimes rock, pop, jazz... But I definitely can't live without music) I have many friends musicians and I take part in organizing concert events in St.Petersburg.
It's impossible to list all the books I like but these books impressed me most of all: "Martin Eden" of Jack London, "Rich man, Poor man" of Irwin Shaw, "Three comrades" of Remarque. I also like Russian classical literature.
Favourite movies... Too many to list them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While traveling... I went to a monthly trip from Russia to Italy by my car, drove through most European countries and saw amazing places - little towns far from touristic routes and beautiful landscapes. I stayed in campings and felt freedom in where to go or what to see and I liked that feeling.

While working... I met interesting and famous people while working as a Press manager of a concert agency - organized press conferences and interviews of Aerosmith, Ozzy Ozbourne, The Rolling stones, Bryan Adams, Santana and many other bands and singers. I worked at the shows of Madonna, Roger Waters, Mark Knopfler, Metallica, Elton John, Duran Duran etc. in St.Petersburg. That was a very interesting experience.
