CURRENT MISSION

We have two daugthers (2011 and 2013). Our family always try to be positive and help each other. We enjoy communicating with each other and get acquainted with new interesting things! And of course, our kids teach us a lot!!!:-)

ABOUT ME

We are all about creative things and positive thinking. Anyway, we try. When we spend our time together we play the piano, cook tasty dishes, sing songs, stroll around different sites, enjoy roller scating or skiing, travelling, drawing or painting or reading, etc.
We enjoy studying foreign languages. I teach my two daugthers French. And his dad are trying to study English with them step by step.

My blog in French about my native region, Saint-Petersburg and other interesting places I visited in Russia - http://esprit-du-nord-de-la-russie.blogspot.com

PHILOSOPHY

The World is not all about the money. Love, friendship and rapport are so important. We want to teach our children to feel happy thanks to simple things as rain, snow, the sun, smiles and so on. And we also want to feel this happiness truly. We want to teach our children to create beautiful things and beauty around them with the help of simple things they already have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would like to host positive persons, espeacially families with children. If we have time we even can accompagny you around St Petersburg and its suburbs.
I work at home, but it does not mean I am always free.
We also travel a lot and it is really interesting for us to stay at locals, to talk with them, to show girls other cultures and languages.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We always stay at our relatives or friends or couchserfers from this site and this is the most adorable part of travelling. I enjoy hosting fun and positive persons, cook for them, talk and tell about our city and our country.
