Spotter since 2016
About me
Hi, I am in my mid-thirties, born in 1980, educated and graduated from school and university, built my career in finance at different multinational companies, have a husband and 2 daughters - everything in St. Petersburg!
I can't say I know "every stone" here but there are a lot of places I've fallen in love with and I'm ready to share - hanging out with friends, going on a romantic getaway with a partner or having fun with the kids.
I sometimes volunteer as a greeter with the St. Petersburg Greeters organization to show the foreigners these spots in person. I also once did a course as a city guide to learn more of the history and culture of St. Petersburg, feel like a host and not a guest of the major highlights and provide better support for my friends and foreign guests. I adore travelling both within Russia and around the world and enjoy meeting new people and getting to know new cultures.
Why Saint Petersburg?
I think St. Petersburg is a very romantic place with all its channels and bridges, long white nights in the summer, and beautiful suburbs, perfect for a weekend getaway. There is always something going on, new places are appearing, old ones transforming.
Though locals may appear a little bit closed we are very sincere!

I like it when historic places suddenly get their second life. This is exactly what's happened with Anna "Pavlova's Room" in Saint Petersburg...

"Berthold Centre" in St. Petersburg creates cozy and historic vibes with its big umbrella yard. I always have trouble deciding between the pizza & syrniki!

"22 Pizza" is a very cosy pizzeria in Saint Petersburg. It's definitely my top choice when I'm the pizza mood -- try the Parmigiana Stracciatella!

"Park Giuseppe" in St. Petersburg is my favourite restaurant for a romantic dinner out in the heart of the city. Don't miss the tiramisu and salmon carpaccio.

"Pavlovsk" is my most beloved Saint Petersburg suburb. I love riding a bike here, passing by the palace, enjoying the views and feeding the squirrels!

"Microkofeinya TCHK" Saint Petersburg is a secret micro-cafe hidden in the midst of residences and former stables to enjoy a cup of coffee and pastries..
