Hello, I'm a 20 year old male from Australia looking to travel to Russia in the next 3 months and I would like to know if there are any Russia specific forums/chat rooms/sites where I could meet some other young people to party with once I get to Russia, will most likely be in Moscow, St Peterburg and Vladivostok.
Cheers guys.

Do you speak any Russian? Do you have any particular interests?
You can visit the universities when there. You can just show up at clubs and meet people there.

What about sites like Hospitality Club or Couch Surfing? They're not just for finding a free place to stay, but to meet locals whereever you're travelling.

I have a young friend (in his early 20's )in your situation. He got acquainted with three girls in their 20's in an ICQ chat room (Russian/international). Believe it or not, it actually worked. I met up with them when he got to Russia. I was impressed, but I would advice you to be very cautious. I agree with Ruth though. When you get there, you can meet many people at pubs and bars. Take care and good luck. Sal
