Hey guys, my name is Anastasia and traveling is my passion.
I’ve visited many countries and I’m sure someday I will visit them all!

I love photography and I’ve got a popular instagram (@miss_anastasia_u) about lifestyle and travelling. I share my travel experience in my blog www.all-around-the-world.com and I am also editor in travel section in various Russian magazines.

However, blogging and photography are my main hobbies I am also working full-time as a chief specialist on implementing business-critical systems, like Microsoft Dynamics CRM in leading companies in Russia.

On my New York holidays I'm travelling with my friend Olga. She doesn't have a couchsurfing account but please be sure to check out her instagram (@barnett_olya) and you may find our pictures together in my account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that there’s a million different ways to explore a country you’re visiting, but one thing is for sure that you can’t say you’ve visited one until you have got in touch with it’s culture and people that live there.

As for me, it’s not about economy, it’s because I believe that couchsurfing provides and amazing opportunity to get in touch with people around the world. I’ve visited many countries and did it with a different approach, from package holidays to road trips, but I find couchsurfing one of the best ways among all the others, that helps me get the best memories.

Interests

Travelling, blogging and photography are my passion.
I love to try local cuisine and obtain new recipes to cook something special for my friends.

I can't live without theatre, good movies and interesting books.
I'm really lucky to be surrounded by amazing people and meet them all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, but most of all I enjoy lounge music.
As for the movies I like comedies and dramas, but I prefer theatre to films.

I love Russian classics and my favorite authors are Bulgakov and Dostoevsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lack of time, money or something else is never a stopper for me.
In order to achieve my goals and pursue my travel dreams we went to Iceland and lived in campings, spent one month in New Zealand, explored Australia all by myself, celebrated New Year 30000ft above the ground and witnessed the most amazing sunrise in a hot air balloon in Cappadocia. But I am sure it's just the beginning...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to share with my travel experience, things about Russian culture and lifestyle, cuisine.
If you are interested in photography and blogging - I can also share my thoughts and helpful tips.
I am a good listener and I can talk on almost any topic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think that spending some time together is a perfect way to explore your hometown. I will be glad to cook dinner and chat about everything.
