Hey, my name is Salim and I’m originally from a beautiful central Asian country - Uzbekistan. For over a decade I live outside of my own country: l studied my bachelors in Biotechnology in China and then moved to Germany. Currently doing my PhD in blood cancer research in Aachen city, on the border between Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. In my free time I love going to community runs in the forest - great opportunity to meet new people in the city! I love solo traveling and meeting new people, going out and exploring new things, especially where locals hang out. I don’t smoke, down into good deep talks, love good food from different cultures and tasty cocktails accompanied by kind people :) I wanna explore the world from the eyes of a local person > and Couchsurfing is a great opportunity for that!
