Hi! I'm Rost from St. Petersburg, Russia.

As a host:
I'd be happy to give you some advice about my hometown what to see, where do locals eat and what to do. During the high season I like to give directions to the tourists because I want them to experience the kindness empathy and caring. I really like meeting people from other countries. The less I know about your culture the more you can tell me. I'm a good listener and love a meaningful teatime conversation.
If you want to chill alone after a sightseeing day I will understand and I won't bother you.

As a guest:
When I'm abroad I like to spend at least a day strolling across the streets away from the sights, observing how the people live, what is their routine, notice the difference. I'm trying to understand the country and the region. So your stories about the way life goes on are the most welcome. I am a good guest: quiet, tidy, shower often, don't make a mess, won't eat your food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world from a different angle. And I want to help my guests do it too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The highest mountain range I've been to is in Kyrenia, Cyprus with an elevation of 732m. Not that much but still exciting.

I've been to both Cabo da Roca, Portugal, and Cape Cod, MA, USA and I was looking at the water and it was mesmerizing. You can draw a direct line across the Atlantic Ocean which is about 5000km and I've been here and there.

I flew a seaplane above lake Como, Italy.

I've been managing a big car wash station.
