Overview
About Me
I'm new to Couchsurfing and I hope to meet some new amazing people here!
Born and raised in Siberia (year-round snow, wild bears,stuff like that). I have been living in St.Petersburg for the last 10 years.
Working as a Study Abroad Advisor, I communicate with a lot of different people from all over the world every day and I absolutely love it! Travelling is an essential part of my job and of my life, of course :)
I'm outgoing and curious especially when it comes to different cultures. Love music, learning foreign languages, cooking (especially baking).
I usually travel alone, so I'm always eager to meet new people, make friends, share stories and travel tips =)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A friend of mine introduced me to Couchsurfing a couple of years ago, but I didn't have an opportunity to try it yet. Hope to get an amazing experience :)
Countries and cities look absolutely different when you see them through a local's eyes, that is the reason I am here.
