Description

Hello beautiful world! I'm Dina. Teacher, interpreter, tour guide in St Petersburg.

My little garden isn't my hobby, it's my whole life! I'm passionate about organic gardening, growing vegetables, fruit, shrubs, and most of all, flowers! "Flowers are what is left from Paradise on Earth", so in summer I'm in my own little paradise (see the photo gallery), but in winter it's all covered by snow, and I've thought - why not offer my help for other people's gardens, learn from them and share my modest knowledge?

I absolutely adore CATS. I love all animals, even small spiders. I can connect emotionally with dogs, they understand me, but felines are my specialty. I can "talk" to them, the shy ones have no fear of me. They are... just my Sister Souls! I would love to do cat sitting, and if your household has a cat, it's the best for me. 😻

I think a lot about ecology and care about the area where I live. Cleaning the shores of rivers from rubbish every spring! I also love to bring order to a house, tidy things, organise the living space and fill it with harmony. Interior design, as well as landscape design, is one of my interests. Dabbled in feng shui in the past, but rather using the knowledge to enrich my approach than strictly following the rules. So I could help you with decluttering your house, re-organising it and making it beautiful!

I love classical music and used to dedicate a lot of time to playing the piano and singing. I can teach some music to your kids. I always use my music, art or drama skills when teaching little ones. :)

Have lived a while in Argentina and visited about 20 countries. Always travelled by myself, created individual tours, planned the time, studied the logistics. I believe I could be of help to those people who are developing new tourist destinations, creating and trying out new routes and so on.

I can feel at home in any part of our planet, as soon as there are good hearts to connect with and share good energy. Still, it would be great to be close to nature.

I must say honestly that I can't take a break from my main work as a remote teacher, having classes in the evening/late afternoon on weekdays (usually just a couple of hours talking to people on my tablet, in earphones), so my only request would be a stable Internet connection for my calls during what will be my free time. It will not interfere with my work duties as a volunteer! The rest of the time, I'm all yours if you wish, as eager to socialise as to respect your private space and entertain myself alone...

Habits: I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't do any drugs (tea and coffee don't count, right?:) Sometimes keeping to the vegetarian/vegan diet to be fitter and more active. Flexibility rules!

Last but not least, I firmly stand for Peace in the world and against wars, militarism and oppression of the innocent.

Looking forward to meeting you, great people!
