St. Petersburg; Russian Party; Camping in the forests of northern Russia

First of all, I must say that before traveling to Russia, I used [couchsurfing] (/thailand/couchsurfing) to learn more about the Russian culture. Write in the request that you are looking for hosting in Russia on this date. The interesting part is; A request that was on the site for a month was left without an offer. Usually, when I used to post this request in another country, in less than a week, I would encounter a lot of offers from the hosts, but this was not the case in Russia. But finally a lady from St. Petersburg accepted my request and I went to her house/

Ekaterina, the host of Couchsurfing

This lady lived with her boyfriend in St. Petersburg and was a very kind and friendly host. There was an animal living in their house. I don't even know its name, and it was searching in my belongings and sleeping in my clothes.

St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg, the dream city of Russians, is amazingly beautiful, especially its sky, as well as its buildings, which give a beautiful appearance to this city with their European architecture.

Russian family party

Being invited to a Russian family party was never expected and it turned out to be a very good experience. People who live in cold regions gradually get depressed, so they do everything to make them happy and restore their vitality. This party is also a weekly party. that friends and family members gather together and dance and relax.

It might be strange when your watch shows night and you expect it to be dark, while the white nights of St. Petersburg disturb all equations.

Northern forests of Russia

Together with my host Ekaterina and her boyfriend, we decided to go to the forests of Orkholo in the north of Russia with some of their friends, which was about a few hours away by train from St. Petersburg.

In the video, it is around 11 pm, but the weather is still bright, and this incident reminded me of the book White Nights. We were near the fire and playing the guitar almost until the morning
