Meet your Host
Julia
I have worked as a guide for many years. Sometimes my tourists call me “mom” maybe because I am too worried about everything and I like to take care of everybody. So if you have small kids or you can't walk a lot, you will be fine with me. I was a ballet dancer for 8 years (and hated classic music with all my heart, but now I am in love with opera). I love running and walking a lot, once I walked 48 km and it was my absolute record! Can't wait to see you here and show you around!

We had so much fun learning to make dumplings with Julia! She is super interesting and very good at making an on-line cooking class fun. Besides learning the secrets behind dumplings Julia also talked about the history of Russian food and cooking styles. We have recommended this class to many friends and encourage anyone who thought making dumplings might be difficult to try it out! Learning from Julia made it easy and fun.
