My name is Nastya, and I am a student from Russia studying German and English. I love to travel, and spent the past six weeks working on a farm in Germany, in the garden and with disabled people. I am always open to learning something new, and I love to explore new places and meet new people. I look forward to talking with my host and seeing their city through their eyes -- as well as sharing my own experiences and culture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world, and to get to know people in many new places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2019, I spent six weeks volunteering at a farm in Germany! My favorite memory so far is talking to other volunteers from all over the world, and improving my German. I love the opportunity to share my culture, and learn about others in return -- through conversation, food, music, dancing, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study German, and would be happy to practice and improve! I also speak near-fluent English. Of course, I am happy to teach you some Russian and share some Russian culture with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I stay with you, I would love to spend time together! I am happy to help around the house, cook together, explore the city, and improve my language skills. Please just let me know how I can help you :)
