Hi, my full name is Anastasia, however, there are lots of nicknames that people use. The most common are Nastya, Anny, Ana etc. I am a nice, cheerful and open-minded person and I've got lots of hobbies. I understand, how important it is to qet acquainted with a person a bit before actually meeting them, that is why here is a list of some facts about me:

2. Right now I'm teaching English and I love it.
3. I love volunteering and am a part of European Youth Parliament
4. I like writing poems and try to do it in every language I can speak.
5. I am a pet and animal lover.
6. My biggest dream is to write my own novel.
7. I can play a couple of guitar songs.
8. I am keen on science and appreciate learning more and more about it.
9. I can solve a 3 by 3 Rubic's Cube.
10. I love photography and experimenting with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to meet with people, share the culture and establish an intercultural dialogue.
I cannot leave without learning something new every day and I can't find a better way to learn about different cultures than to see in with my own eyes and to speak with a representative of the country and/or culture.
