Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Maybe Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 1
Shared Sleeping Surface: No Shared Room: YesI live in a small 1 room flat with my friend, so be ready to share the room with us.
I'm working Monday-Friday till 18.00, but I can show round on weekends or meet you somewhere in the evening. If you need any kind of information about St.Petersburg - feel free to contact me! I'm still in the process of moving to new apartment. I hope that soon I will be able to offer you a couch or at least place in my room. By now, I have not enough furniture and other useful things like blankets ect.=)) But if you don't care about it - you are welcome=)
I live just in 5 min walk from metro station Pionerskaya in the north part of the city. It takes about 20 min to reach the city center.
I don't have pets and my apartment is 100% non-smoking area. We have a balcony, so it's actually not a problem.
Please note that my home is not a hostel!! CS is something more for me.
I'm pretty busy during the working week and sometimes should wake up really early. It's better for me to host on weenends. The exception can be only for my old CS friends=)

Personal DescriptionI really like to travel all over the world:) the greatest thing is to meet new people and to learn something about other cultures.
So..I don't like to do the same thing...I'm ready to change my life, job and myself if something seems to be boring!
At the morment i'm trying to survive in IT world=)
I'm curious about foreign languages...Now i'm attending German class on Monday in the evening and also have English classes twice a week in the morning before work (still cannot realize that i wake up so early!!). But what can we do if we have only 24 hours a day!! I need defenitly a bit more for sleeping because I actually like lazy mornigs=)
I'm a happy and cheeful girl, because i always meet extraordinary people.
Ah..forgot...I like good tasty food=))

I make a good promotion for CS among my friends with the same travel passion. And lots of them have already joined us!! I'm really pround of that fact=)
CouchSurfing ExperienceI participated in several school and student exchange programs. I hosted twice german students, but it was before CS. Some years ago i took part in one internet community and hosted a lot of people from Moscow=) Now they all are my good friends=)
***June'07 I organized a CS meeting in Barcelona this summer=)So many good people around the world! I'm afraid that I lose somebody! That's why I also organized perfect meeting in Lisbon in July=)

***In November'07 i surfed a couch in Norway what was also fantastic. (Henning is a great host!)
***In February/March'08 I surfed a couch in Milan ( Danke schoen Jacob!!) and in Rome by Daniele. The whole trip was awesome!
***In May'08 I spend 4 days in Kiev hosted by Dima. I realized once again how cool is to speak same language for hours!
