Hi, I’m Zarina
Hi, I’m Zarina
I’ve lived in Sapporo for 3 years
I speak English, Russian and some Japanese
I am Researcher
Hello, my name is Zarina, and I study environmental science in Sapporo. I like this city, as it is full of modern life, but surrounded by beautiful forests and mountains. I like everything about nature and culture — traditional japanese theater, hiking, spending time in the zoo with my friends’ kids and search for traces of past life on river stones. I am a «vintage shopaholic», so I know almost all major flea markets in the city — on one of them I bought my favorite japanese flute.

Our guide Zarina was fabulous, tailoring the day to our interests and speed. She had an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the history, culture, architecture, flowers and fauna, which she shared with great enthusiasm.
