About me

šŸ‡«šŸ‡· Coucouuu ! Je m'appelle Nastia, je suis russe et c’est ma premiĆØre annĆ©e en France. J’étudie la mode et la communication Ć  Lyon et je bosse dans une boutique au centre-ville. Donc si t’aime bien chiner on va certainement faire un tour des fripes lyonnaises )) Et je serai ravie de montrer Lyon, dont je suis amoureuse ! Si tu es une photographe, mannequine, crĆ©atrice ou tu veux tout simplement crĆ©er qqch de beau ensemble je suis grave partante ! Surtout si on parle Ć  propos d’un makeup))) Je parle couramment russe (Ć©videmment mdr) et franƧais, mon anglais est pas trĆØs bon mais je l’étudie, au moins j’essaie 🄶 J’suis un peu timide dĆØs le premier regard mais j’aimerais devenir plus ouverte grĆ¢ce aux nouvelles rencontres et connaissances ! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Heyy! My name is Nastia, I’m Russian and it’s my first year in France. I study fashion and communication in Lyon, and I work in a boutique in the city center. So if you enjoy thrifting, we’ll definitely be hitting up some vintage shops around Lyon )) And I’d love to show you around the city, I’m completely in love with it! If you’re a photographer, model, designer, or just someone who wants to create something beautiful together, I’m totally down! Especially if it involves makeup. I’m fluent in Russian (obviously lol) and French, and my English isn’t great but I’m learning, or at least trying 🄶 I’m a little shy at first glance, but I’d really like to become more open thanks to new people and experiences!

About me

Last year, me and my girl friend abandoned our job in Lyon. Since we’ve done seasonal job in France especially in the mountains. Our goal was to go for a long discovery trip in Central America. And here we are !!! We are in Mexico since a few days and admet that meeting people isn’t that easy. We want to give a relational dimension to our trip and this could help ! We also did this trip in purpose to speak Spanish.

Is Lyon safe for women?

It’s ok safe, you’re safe at day light, you just really have to avoid some places, but otherwise you’ll be fine. The worst place for me it’s Place des terreaux at night, also a guy randomly screamed at my face in Confluence. And also, sometimes at bars, men are pretty direct. I don’t go out at night alone :/
