ABOUT ME

I live in Saint-Petersburg, but in fact I was born in Krasnoyarsk, so for more then 10 years Saint-Petersburg is a place which I like to explore, in travelling, going on excursions, etc. In Saint-Petersburg I met a man of my life. I also have studied and worked in different places here. Now I am a librarian in the University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics. In my free time I am glad to meet people who share my interests in learning languages. Most of the time I am occupied with my 8 year old son and my 1,5 year old daughter, but if you like kids, we could meet in a cafe or for a short walk in daytime with pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY

I tend to self-development in many different ways, also to being open to people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2010-2012 I participated in some weekly CS meetings, and I helped some members to learn more about Saint-Petersburg. I also organized some Language Exchange meetings, on which Couchsurfers were invited. I represent the Polyglot Club(http://www.polyglot-learn-language.com) and participate in developing the Language Free - Free of charge Language courses - https://vk.com/languagefree in Saint-Petersburg, so if you make language exchange CS meetings, whichever language you know and learn, let's cooperate. I dream to become a guide in Saint Petersburg, so I would be happy to show you around the most beautiful places here in Russian, English or French. In exchange I would love if you could help me and my children to practice languages.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What kinds of experiences have you had through CouchSurfing?
I can't allow any travels for a while. But my family took a mortgage two years ago, so we recently moved to our own flat near Saint Petersburg, and we will probably be able to accept guests here (20 minutes on foot from Devyatkino metro station). And after my children grow up a bit, we will probably be able to travel together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2005-2006 I worked on a cruise ship sailing from Moscow to Saint-Petersburg, and from Moscow to Astrahan, and between these two seasons, in winter 2005-2006, I worked on the Sakhalin island. Thus I draw a big "Z" letter twice on the map of Russia in those two years by my travel jobs. And after that I moved from Krasnoyarsk to Saint-Petersburg.
