Welcome everybody!

My name is Anastasiya.

I am a graphic designer, a beginner minimalist, a vegetarian for 15 years, a bookworm, a perfectionist, an extrovert and just creative personality.

I have a big family: Mom, Dad, 2 sisters and 3 brothers. I - eldest child in the family. The youngest brother is 8 years old.

For me, the glass is always half full. There are a lot of good things around, you just have to notice it. We see and feel what we focus ourselves on. One says that the world is cruel and vicious - and he is right; another says that life is beautiful and full of miracles - and he is also right. It's like a radio - everyone chooses a wave for himself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel. But until now I have traveled only around Ukraine and Crimea.

This summer I decided to fix it!

And the first country in my plan is the Czech Republic. I'll go there with two great friends.

I always thought that the most beautiful thing in travel - people. People with whom you travel and learn to know this wonderful world. New people with whom you meet on your road.

I'm here to meet new people all over the world!

I sincerely believe, that every person I meet in my life, including through couchsurfing.com, is sent to me from on high and I to him too.

So I'll be very glad to meet with you! And I will be especially grateful for the opportunity to stay in your house for a short time, when I'll need shelter. Boomerang will fly back!
