Overcame my shyness and began to speak in public.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have a spare room where I can receive guests for a few days. Also I have some free time I can devote to my guests, introduce to St. Petersburg and Russian life and culture.
My Interests
I write fairy tales, stories and poems. I explore the history of Russian chanson from first half of 20s century and I am giving lectures about the stars of this genre. I'm looking forward to learn more about european shanson of the same period. I'm interested in literature, art, history, movies, music, and theater. I love meeting new people, and old friends, spending time outdoor, explore new places and receive new experience.
