Hi!
I’m Nastya, a graphic designer.

I love discovering the world from the saddle of a bike and in the water—when I’m not behind my laptop, you’ll find me either cruising down the tarmac or swimming freestyle, whether it’s in a lake or a pool.

I live in Warsaw just a stone’s throw from the metro—only 10 minutes to the city centre. I know the city like the back of my hand (especially the bike paths) and enjoy showing guests hidden courtyards, street art and cosy cafés.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is a way to make friends whose stories inspire me for years to come.
I love it when, a year or two later, we bump into each other somewhere else and instantly feel like old mates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hiked 120 km of the Lycian Way completely solo, carrying everything I needed on my back. In 2022 I opened my Warsaw apartment to refugees from different countries. One adventure happened on a mountain trail, the other within my own four walls, yet both taught me that courage and kindness are the best companions you can have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- A small custom illustration or logo as a thank-you gift
- Dad’s signature pizza (he passed away during the pandemic, making it keeps his memory warm) or Mum’s paper-thin crêpes
- Russian phrases if you want to practise
- I often change my place of residence and I will be ready to welcome you as a guest in the city where I will live at that time
