Hello! My name is Anastasia and currently I am a freelance artist. I paint traditional Russian matryoshka dolls and other wooden/ceramics/birch bark things. I make paintings as well.

I have a degree in international relationships but I don't really want to connect my life with it. In future, within 2-3 years I am planning to start studying Fine Arts or anything art-related: design/illustration/sculpture/architecture etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great opportunity to find friends all over the world and see foreign cities/countries/cultures from the inside with help of locals. You become something more than just a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music of various ganres: instrumental/electronic/experimental/ minimal/ambient/rock etc.

I like thought-provoking movies and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Painted a huge matryoshka which was around 1/3 of my body :'D
