Oiiiii!!!!!!!!!

I am Nastia, smily girl with lots of energy inside! I was born in Crimea, Ukraine. It is a beautiful peninsula, that is surrounded by Black sea and mountains. Unfortunately for the past 10 years it is occupied by Russia, and in 2023 I needed to leave my home due to political persecution for my work. I can't return there in the nearest future.

I am a journalist and I write about some social problems in Russia. I work for different independent medias in exile. I try to do the best to bring closer the moment of Ukraine's victory in the war.

I used to spend many time on volunteering. I organized events\travels for people with disabilities. As well I care a lot about enviromental problems, and try to do what I can. In 2022 I met on the streets of my hometown my dog Molly, she was abandoned by her owners so after that she lives with me, and we explore the world together.

When you are my guest: at my home I eat just vegetarian food.

When I’m traveling: usually I try to search for hidden places that later I can describe for my articles. Abandoned places/underground bunkers/roofs. I prefer nature than cities.

In march, 2024 I moved to Vancouver. From July I live in Gibsons on Sunshine Coast.

Interests

I love hiking, rock climbing, mountaineering. Spending as much time in the mountains as I can.
