Hey there, I’m Alex from Saint Petersburg. I don’t support the invasion—I want my country to end the war and start negotiations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet new people, have great conversations, and experience places like a local. I love the idea of staying in real homes instead of tourist spots—it feels so much more personal and authentic. Making new friends along the way is the best part!
