Hi! We are Nikita & Katya, a couple living in the very heart of St. Petersburg, one of the most amazing cities in the world. We are totally in love with our city and home, but still crave to see the world and dive into new cultures. We don't really like soulless hotels, which are almost the same everywhere (probably you don't like it too if you are here), so we became big fans of Airbnb and even became hosts and had lots and lots of happy visitors from all over the world! And now we are excited to try Couchsurfing as it is something new for us and looks even more adventurous. If you stay at our place, we can offer everything a tired traveller needs for a good rest and first-class tips from experienced locals with a wide range of interests. We consider ourselves as communicative and truly open-minded people, so feel free to contact us :) Nikita, 24, civil engineer in a big company, into urban studies, music, volleyball, fitness, and craft beer brewing, good listener and pretty good english speaker also Katya, 31, sommelier, appreciates goods wines and spirits and can tell you a lot about them, big tennis fan, cinemaholic and a big book reader, also brews craft beer
Interested in Socializing
Fluent in English
Fluent in Russian
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We just recently made an account on Couchsurfing because we wanted to try something even more fun and adventurous than just travelling using Airbnb ;) It seems that people there are more into exchanging experience and just helping each other to think outside the box and always learn new about the world.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Indie, classics, IDM, hip hop, jazz, techno, almost any genre has something we like Movies: dramas and old movies, 90's and earlier Books: Sorokin, Dostoevsky, Hemingway, Kesey, Fitzgerald
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Venice is the most beautiful place we've seen so far
Teach, Learn, Share
We can teach you some Russian recipes and prepare a traditional meal if you would like Katya knows a lot about wines as she is a sommelier so if you are interested :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
We are respectful and accurate, as travellers we can offer you our great and energetic mood, total respectfulness and accuracy :) We are ready to hang out, but also if you are busy that's no problem Also, you are always welcomed in our great apartment in the very centre of Saint Petersburg, 15 minutes by foot from Hermitage. Me and my gf Kate are experienced hosts so we will provide you with everything you might need plus can show you the city from the local point of view :)
My Interests
We are pretty much into our work, but when we have a spare time, we like to explore the city we live in and try something new. So concerts, exhibitions, markets, bars, cafes, and many more are our direct interests :)
