Hey there! I’m Annastazia from Tanzania 🇹🇿 — a passionate sneaker lover, entrepreneur, and cultural explorer based in Dar es Salaam. I run 255 Sneakers, a street-smart sneaker brand that blends bold style with everyday confidence.

As a Cancer ♋, I’m naturally intuitive, nurturing, and calm — I enjoy early morning runs, drinking ginger-lemon tea, and journaling during full moons. Balance, peace, and authentic energy matter a lot to me.

Traveling for me is about genuine connections, learning new ways of life, and sharing real conversations. I love discovering how people live, what they eat, how they dance, and what they believe in.

I’m open-minded, respectful, and always up for new experiences — whether it’s cooking together, exploring the streets, or just vibing with music and stories. Let’s connect, share moments, and grow together 🌍.

Interests

I’m passionate about fashion, especially sneakers — I love seeing how people express themselves through style. I’m also into self-care, running in the early mornings, full moon rituals, journaling, and sipping warm ginger-lemon tea in peace.

I enjoy music that touches the soul — from Afrobeat, SZA, and Chris Brown to deep rap that speaks truth. I’m interested in different cultures, street food, spirituality, business ideas, and meaningful conversations that leave you thinking.

I love learning how other people live, what they believe in, and what makes them feel alive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built my own sneaker brand from scratch in Tanzania — with no big budget, just passion, creativity, and a deep love for street culture. From selling my first pair to running a full shop called 255 Sneakers, it’s been a bold journey of hustle, faith, and vision.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you some Swahili words and phrases, how to clean and style sneakers like a pro, or how we make simple Tanzanian tea rituals with ginger, lemon, and honey. I can also share insight into Tanzanian street fashion and small business life.

Learn:
I’d love to learn about your culture, daily routines, mindset, and what inspires you. I’m curious about different ways of thinking, living, and healing — especially spiritual or wellness-related.

Share:
I share calm energy, good conversations, music playlists, cultural stories, and help around the house if needed. I can also share a laugh, a walk, or a quiet moment — whatever feels natural.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share real conversation, good energy, and a glimpse into Tanzanian culture — from music, slang, and traditions to small habits that keep life simple and grounded. I’m happy to help cook a light Swahili-style meal, teach you basic Swahili phrases,

I’m also a good listener, peaceful to be around, and always down to exchange ideas, stories, or even playlists — especially if you’re into soul, Afrobeat, or chill rap. Most of all, I’ll bring respect, cleanliness, and gratitude into your space.
