Hello everyone!I'm Olga from Yaroslavl, Russia. It is a beautiful city on the river Volga near Moscow.
However, I was born in Siberia.
I love reading books, learning languages and cultures, history and politics. I'm fond of reciting poetry, cooking, swimming and skating. I work with children, I love them very much.
I speak Russian, English and German. I'm fond of traveling too.
I have been to Germany three times and I really love its architecture and language. I have been in Berlin, Potsdam, Dresden, Hamburg, Bremen and Frankfurt am Main. Now I'm living near Hamburg as Au Pair for a year to August 2018. I love it! I'm learning German and spend good time with my guest family. I believe that Au-Pair is a good thing to become a "grown-up", develop and change yourself :) I have participated in exchange programs in Germany. We have told about Second World War, Berlin Wall and about cultures. And of course, I have now good friends from Germany thank these exchange programs. Last time was in July 2016.

I believe Couchsurfing is very good thing to make friends from all over the world, exchange cultural experience and have fun! I'm a friendly, open-minded, funny girl. I know a lot of funny stories, and many of them have happened with me :D Believe me! I can tell a lot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling! I would like to get to know a lot of people and places!
