Hey! My name is Nastya, I am 20 years old and I live in Lviv, Ukraine. Probably you have never heard about this city before, but it's quite beautiful and worth visiting. I like sad music and sad movies, feeding seagulls, long walks, African rhythms, film photos, stickers, postcards, thunderstorms, theatre and art in general, wondering around without any reason. Also, I love spoken word poetry, Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye are my favorite performers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people all over the world, who have a different worldview and cultural background.
I love talking to strangers and discussing some interesting topics as this is a way to learn something new and hear interesting stories.
I am not traveling a lot now due to university and other boring stuff, but I like meeting wanderers who are coming to Lviv.
While traveling I think that Couchsurfing is the best way to find not only a place to sleep, but also to find a company for your journey. Or even if you meet a person for just a couple of hours, it is interesting experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regarding books, I have read a lot of them, and the list of my favorite may be endless. However, I will mention a few that I consider very powerful. Those are The Goldfinch and The Secret History by Donna Tartt ( her writing is unimaginably gorgeous, I am ready to read her shopping lists ), The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, Rich Man, Poor Man by Irwin Shaw, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. That is not the complete list, but let's stop.
About movies, I am not a big fan of movies, but I really like Inception, Her, Interstellar, Mother!, Léon: The Professional, Call Me By Your Name, Gone Girl, The Lovely Bones, August Rush, I,Origins, Girl,Interrupted, Dead Poets Society. My favourite director is Yorgos Lanthimos and I love his movies!
Also, I am a big fan of series and my favourite are Stranger Things, A million little things, How to get away with murder, The Good Place, Sex Education, Sherlock, Black mirror, Vikings, Atypical, You, Ann with an E, The Sinner.
I don't want to put labels on music I listen and define some genres. Currently, I listen to Foals, Florence + the Machine, Her, The National, Snow Patrol, AaRON, Son Lux and many more
