Anastasia (Nastia) grew up in Saint Petersburg, Russia, moved to USA when she was 12. She's a biologist, an actress, briefly studied art history, and now works in start-ups. Misha is a musician, and is studying to be a music teacher. We recently moved to a really cool part of Brooklyn and love exploring our new surroundings.

Most of all, we love meeting people who are kind and open-minded and who love sharing experiences as much as we do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've never been a fan of the all-inclusive resort experience. We love showing people around the city, and traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We open up our couch every once in a while and let people crash for a few nights. We can't always host people at our place, but are always down to meet and show people around, especially in the summer!
