READ MY PROFILE!

I’d like to meet people within my age range (+- 25-40 max)

I can host people, but usually the ones I’ve already had CS experience with / met before.
I could also try and accept emergency cases.

I’m not so interested in the cliches. Yes everybody (especially here on CS) loves to travel, try new food etc. I prioritise real depth and connection, authenticity, and am not afraid of honest conversations. And I mean it, I don’t just write it for the sake of writing. I’m looking for quality, not quantity. I don’t get shallow by just changing and using people. Ideally I’d like to find people I stick to. Maybe I have already found some, but maybe I’m still in the process of finding it out. That’s why I value ability to be one authentic self, to connect deeply and to value genuine intentions instead of just collecting people for good reviews or just to waste time.

DEAL BREAKERS:
-smoking (please don’t smoke anything around me),
-drugs and
-nudity (sorry nudist guys I can’t share your passion for airing your private parts in front of others ;D - I do respect that you can do whatever floats your boat though - as long as you get consent from surrounding people ofc)
so please don’t send me requests or offers to host if you practice any of those things, especially at your home.

I don’t drink alcohol but I don’t have anything against people who do. As long as you know your limits and behave :)

As for me, I personally prefer having fun without intoxication and changing my mental state with substances. It’s better to enjoy life and change / expand one’s mental state by practicing meditation, music, dance, talking and self-reflecting, reading and discussing books and ideas, spending time in nature, doing sports etc.

Another deal breaker:
any form of Russophobia and extremist ideologies. Fanatics and brainwashed aggressive mass media lovers are not welcome.

You don’t have to like Russia (or any other country for that matter), but throwing hateful comments and being disrespectful right in my face is where I draw the line.

Critical and independent thinking, intelligence, respectful manner of having a discussion, flexibility and compromise, good education are what I value. If you aren’t able to be like that and aren’t sure, then don’t speak on politics and similar topics with me.

And noooow, for somebody who’s got to this point:
Hallo Leute! My name is Anastasia (Stacia).
I love discovering new things and places, hiking, dancing, playing musical instruments(piano, guitar) being active in general :)

There is not much going on in my town (event though the nature here is amazing and there are plenty of great restaurants, hot spring resorts and even a pool, but it lacks in social events and variety of choices to spend time or practice one’s hobbies) that’s why I like to fill up my time with travelling and meeting new people in other locations.

Btw I dont smoke and dont like when others do it around me. So please keep that in mind when offering me a stay or to hang out/ travel with me. :)
