Hi everyone!
My name is Olga and I'm 25 y.o. I was born in Saint Petersburg (Russia) and I'm absolutely in love with my beautiful city!)

I'm gratuated from Saint Petersburg State Univercity in international relations and european studies, I also did two exchange semesters in Toulouse and Paris, so, as you can imagine, I fluently speak French and less fluently English ;)

Well, difficult to speak about myself, I feel like I am on an job interview, haha))
But I can say that I'm an easygoing person, I really love to laugh and to smile to people because people deserve a good smile and a good mood!

I'm crazy about art, architecture, painting, ballet (OH MY GOD IF YOU ONLY KNOW HOW I LOVE BALLET!!!))), literature. I'm even trying to study to draw in watercalors, bit it's hard to do, I assume)

But don't think that I'm a simple raffinated (or boring)) girl, oh no) I love such kind of music like Rammstein and System of a Down and after a good "bar-trip" I love sometimes to finish the hang-out night in karaoke bar (however my sing talent is horrible).

I adore walking around city center and enjoing cultural heritage as well as good company of foreign friends!

As I studied in France and have a degree in international relations as well as I have a work experience in international field, I have a lot of friends from different countries, of different age, cultural background and so on.

My life principe is "On s'engage et puis on voit" - you get involved and then you see what happens. Spontaneity is cool!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last time I used Couchsurfing was in 2013 when I was an exchange student, me and my mom had an amazing trip in four cities - Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and Venezia, and all our hosts have become friends to us! We still keep in touch and even meet each other in our home cities and and in other countries. Couchsurfing, thank you for my amazing friends!

So, I use Couchsurfing to meet new friends and nice people and discover their cities with them, especially I appreciate a night hang outs when you feel like typical Erasmus guys, I miss it so much!)

I didn't have a possibility to host, but I hang out and can show my city, I also go sometimes to couchsurfing meetings in Saint Petersburg where I've also met very good friends!

So, let's travel and discover cities together and be friends! ;)
