Hello everybody!

My name is Anastasia. I was born and raised in the middle of nowhere and educated in different parts of the world. I am obsessed with traveling. Currently living in Nottingham, UK.

Have already experienced a lot since my birth - became a candidate for a master of sports in figure skating (the path was tough and long though), graduated from high school with honors, finished International Baccalaureate, volunteered, tried different jobs and career paths, successfully entered 2 different unis (in Russia and in the UK) and lots of other interesting stuff!

Since I sincerely began to love this life and like meeting new people all around the world, I would describe the last several years as a significant transition. I've been really inspired to learn about various cultures and to just engage in conversation with people I have never met before.

Constantly gaining new experience and knowledge, always curious and ambitious, never stopping halfway.

Being a double-degree student and a sportswoman, I am not afraid of taking risks and thinking outside of boundaries. I quickly master new skills and areas of activity, always trying to develop with the help of complex open tasks. I appreciate teamwork and human diversity. Sometimes procrastinating, but still hard-working.

Not a smoker and a drinker, really taking care of my body and wellness

What I have achieved in my life is only the beginning and I still have a lot ahead!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My childhood dream was to be able to have connections all over the world. 
I am very thankful to my parents who instilled in me a passion for traveling and learning about different cultures.

Since my conscious age, I have been convinced about the fact that people are about energy. And in order to feel and dive into the culture of a particular country, it is not enough to go sightseeing, visit museums and see stunning natural scenery. Sharing travel-related experiences and interests, engaging in and fully experiencing important conversations.

I believe we meet people not by an accident!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I would say I've done a lot of stuff in my life that different people can consider as something truly amazing, but for me the most challenging and at the same time amazing thing in my life was 4 days rafting trip on the river, sleeping in tents, connecting with nature, no internet and cell connection, overcoming fears, and challenging myself... it was tough days, but I end up a different person :)
