Hello!

My name is Anastasia and I'm a positive person who likes exploring new places, learning new things and communicating with people. I'm originally from Belarus, but living and studying in Lodz, Poland right now. I have already been studying lots of things, but for now my speciality at the university is printmaking. Manual techniques are totally my jam, so I also make a lot of charcoal, graphite or ink drawings and paintings. I'm the person who will always have a sketchbook and a pencil no matter what :)

Another passion of mine are tattoos. I make black and grey tattoos and try to be better with every tattoo I make.

Travelling is an essential part of me as well. New cities, beautiful nature and amazing people are my main source of inspiration and energy. Bright impressions and unexpected situations are what really keeps me on track of this life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is an ideal option if you want to make friends with locals in a new city. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures, countries, religions. This way you get to know a new perspective on life, new types of personalities. Through learning more about other people I learn new things about myself.

I also enjoy listening to travel stories from other people, because it gives me inspiration to travel even more :)

Interests

Except for arts and travelling I'm also a healthy lifestyle fan, practice vegetarianism and yoga.
