Hello! I'm a redhead adventure seeker 🌍🔥
My name is Anastasia, and I'm a sound designer: I create music and sound effects for video games and films. 🎵🎮🎬 My work is my passion, and I'm always excited about creative collaborations and exploring new ideas.

A bit about my hobbies
🎹 I play the piano, sing, and dabble with string instruments like the guitar and ukulele.
🍳 I also love cooking! I'm quite skilled in Russian cuisine and enjoy experimenting with dishes from around the world. I’ve tried my hand at Asian, Chinese, Italian, and Indian recipes so far!

A few facts about me and our lifestyle
🌟 I’m a clean and tidy person who respects others' space.
👫 I usually travel with my husband (here’s his profile — https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/ruslan-mikhalev Ruslan). We both enjoy discovering new countries, learning about different cultures, and meeting fascinating people along the way!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
For me, Couchsurfing is not just about finding a place to stay but a way to dive deeper into the world and connect with its incredible people. I believe that travel becomes richer and more memorable when you share experiences with locals and fellow travelers.

I’d love to get to know you and share interesting stories. If we sound like a good match, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be thrilled to meet you! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have money for travel, but prefer to spend them on visiting more places, not sleeping :) Also, I like to meet new people and CS is the best way to do it in an unknown country!

Aso classic and neoclassic music, electronic, funk...
(yes, yes... you can say that I'm a musical nerd)

I like old Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and some anime like Studio Ghibli

About reading - I really like classic literature, philosophy and sometimes love, adventures stories like Ernest Hemingway

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I spent almost all my money in a veterinary clinic to save a stray cat that was hit by a car and drive to a shelter... After that, my parents and friends kept me from hunger =)

Also, I got a YouTube channel with folk music and game osts
