CURRENT MISSION

to cycle the world on my Strida

ABOUT ME

My name is Sasha and I'm a calm and reliable person. I'm rather shy but I try to overcome that by meeting new people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to be a better person each day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to share my experience of Saint-Petersburg as a great Russian city and to meet locals abroad to find out more than basic tourist routes can provide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a couch to host someone, but I've taken several guests-couchsurfers of my friend Inna Khvorostova to see the center and museums of Saint-Petersburg.

Interests

My passions are music and foreign languages. I learn to play classical guitar in a musical school for adults in SPb. I learn French, try to learn German and Chinese.
