Helloooo :3

Hello, my name is Anastasia Berard! I’m nervous and excited for this trip like everyone else but I hope I’ll have a good time. Music is my life, I can’t live without it. I listen to all types of music ranging from classical to metal lol. I have 3 cats all named after different types of cheese haha. I like to sing and play on the piano, and love reading romance books and manga. I have 10 piercings, and hope to get more when I come back to nyc. I am half Haitian and have never been on the island before so I’m excited to learn more about the history between DR and Haiti as well as learn more about life in the Caribbean in general. I hope I can get along with everyone, can’t wait!!

Hey Anastasia! I can’t wait to meet in person soon. I am also the proud owner of a cat. (Her name is Theodora, after the Byzantine empress, and she lives up to her queenly name.) We’ll have to swap cat stories and music recs on the plane!
