CURRENT MISSION

To be happy, I guess :)

ABOUT ME

Hi everybody :) My name is Nastya, I'm from the west of Russia. I'm sarcastic, easy-going, cheerful and never tired for meeting new people or going to another country. I'm curious about lots of things, both deep and silly ones. Love being on the go! And food :) You are very welcome in my place if you ever visit Kaliningrad. Don't hesitate to contact me, take care!

PHILOSOPHY

Lessons are repeated until learnt.
Don't think of what other people think. They usually don't care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a lot, then took a break, and now back on stage. As I live with parents, it's hard for me to host, but I'm planning to move soon and then things will change. I'm visiting CS meetings quite often, too.

Interests

I'm a linguistic geek. I love learning about deep connections hidden in the language and the way language influences our minds. I enjoy reading analytically and also adore writing texts of all styles. I hope to speak English like a native one day..that day seems very far, but I love working on it. I love public speaking and spontaneous jokes, as well as sharing what I know, that's how I ended up being a teacher. I really enjoy it - try it, it's really cool watching kids making progress. I'm very competitive and really keen on playing games - know bunch of games to challenge the brain or to stir a party. Oh yeah, I love partying! Concerts, festivals or just discos - I'm in! I also play some music on my guitar when near bonfire or on my flute when perform medieval music with my friends. I've got itchy feet - travelled a lot already and never gonna stop! I'm a tea-drinker and a midnight-talker, always into interesting discussions and doing some crazy stuff lalalala

Music, Movies, and Books

What kind of music do you listen? - this appears to be a tough question to me :)) I love a good beat, sensible lyrics, skillful performance, rich harmony, catchy tunes, so, actually I can enjoy almost everything. My top 5 would be Parov Stelar, Regina Spektor,Green Day, Zemfira,Radiohead.
Same thing with books and movies: I enjoy both deep phylosophical pieces and lightweight things :) Love good humour.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I modelled for a cover of a local magazine - that was in the cold, I was wearing only a thin shirt, with a horse in the background which would every time slip out of the view!! That was new and really fun for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready to learn almost anything, depends who gonna teach me. In Russia I teach English, everywhere else I can teach Russian, also some traditional receipes and maybe something else :)
