My name is Anastasiia (who can’t pronounce, just call me Ana or Anie). Was born in Russia (somewhere between Ural Mountains and Siberia...yes,it’s very cold over there if you wanna ask about it) and spent there 22 years of my life,after that my life changed a lot recently. First,I left to Caribbean Islands and spent there 9 months ,living in the ocean and working at the big cruise ship. After I came back,I realised that I want to spend few years for traveling and seeing the world. So,that’s how I end up in your place😉 So,since November 2016 I am on my trip “around the world” with few breaks in different countries (for 2-3 months sometimes).
Currently: living dream life in Hawaii 🏝🌺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is the best thing, that out life can give us!!! Some years ago my friend told me about CS, and i couldnt beleive that it can work.
When you are in other city or country, through CS you have chance to meet new friends around the world, learn the different culture inside of the family and many other different things, which you can't do staying in the hotel.
And sure,CS is not “free place for sleeping”. It’s much more,it’s about making friendship,communication and different exchange.

Interests

I think the only one the most important interest which i have is to live my life. But if to tell about something else what i am doing in my free time -to learn something new, to read interesting books, to meet new people, to cook tasty dishes (especially specific traditional kitchen), to see new places, and to listen to exciting stories. Something about extreme can be great as well,I am happy to get new feelings and emotions through extreme.
Sport? It’s not about me so much,but sometimes I really would love to do some nice mountain hiking or bicycle or smth else.

✅ Skydived from 4000 metres (13123 feet) from the plane

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn new things about different cultures, definitely curious about your language. Can teach you some Russian words and how to cook Russian food if you would like to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to share all things, which is possible.
Depends on my budget we can share expenses on some activities. But don’t get mad that I might not go with you to some fancy places, because you should consider that budget of every traveler is different.
