Solo travel

I felt very save in Kaliningrad. People were friendly and tried to help. Most of them don't speak english. I used public transport in town and even visited the seaside by train. The infrastructure is quite good. The service in the restaurants was also very good and polite. The food delicious. I would recommend to visit the market (rynok) for fresh and homemade products like fruits, vegetables, honey or wool products, the organ concerts on Kant island in the cathedral, the ocean museum and the orthodox cathedral on the main square. There are also many tourist attractions and guided tours to learn about the interesting history of the town. Kaliningrad is also good for shopping there many big malls with a variety of shops. I would recommend to visit this beautiful town.

Group travel

Kaliningrad and the Kaliningrad region - former German cities are small, easy to navigate - you definitely won't get lost. I went for 4 days with my friend, we walked alone, together at night. I felt safer and calmer than in Moscow. The streets are well lit, passers-by were friendly, no one approached us to get acquainted. The only thing was that when we were in Zelenogradsk, drunk men made a little noise, it was unnerving, but everything was fine. The food is excellent with fresh seafood, the average bill in a cafe is $ 7-10

About me

I was born and raised in Kaliningrad. This is a small city in which I organize such events as the English Speaking Club, board games, meetings of travelers. You can join us every Wednesday from 18.30 to 21.00 - on Proletarskaya street, 87 in the Konigsbacker cafe (ask the staff about a room with a round table), and every Friday at 17.00 - in the library on Gaidara street, 87. Mostly I accept guests on couchsurfing, I use it from 2014. I want to help travelers save money on housing so that everyone has the opportunity to see more interesting places. But now my apartment isn't compatible because of it's in repair. There's no shower and hitting, it's not suitable for winter. That's why I rent another 1 room-apartment with my boyfriend and we don't have opportunity to invite you to be our guest. Feel free to write me if you don't afraid to freeze in my empty cold apartment with repair. In the case I don't answer you here, or you have an emergency case, you can write me on WhatsApp or telegram +79114734849.
