Although she was born and raised in Siberia, Natalia left her native town when she was 18 for St. Petersburg, a city where dreams come true. She graduated from Saint Petersburg State University with a degree in Linguistics. Pursuing her dream to become an English-Russian interpreter, Natalia attended additional courses in history and fine arts. While she was a junior in University, Natalia decided to use her wide knowledge of Russian culture and history to become a local tour guide. Eight years later, she is still guiding all over St. Petersburg, now with special accreditations by the State Hermitage and Peterhof Museum Complex, as well as other St. Petersburg museums. Natalia is passionate about traveling, museums and local culture experiences, and she is eager to share her interests with travelers.
