About Me

Hi guys! We are a young couple. We got married three years ago and recently moved to Hanover, Germany. Now we are adapting to a new culture here, though we highly value and love our own one. Staying with us will be a russian-german mix, 80-20 in percentage (as we are quite new to Germany).

Took part in a volunteer project in Guatemala

Teach, Learn, Share

We'll cook traditional Russian food (borsch, draniki, pelmeni) and exchange cultural and linguistic experience

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hanover isn't our hometown. Maybe that is the reason we know most tourist attractions here much better then those in Moscow;) But as long as we aren't locals, we'll be unable to show you German life from the inside - only the Russian-immigrants-in-Germany life. If that suits you we'll be happy to show the most interesting and beautiful sights we know, as well as let you explore Hanover yourself.
