Hi, my name is Andrei, but you can call me Andrew — it's the same name, so don’t hesitate! A few years ago, we left Russia and I moved to my homeland, Kazakhstan, to live in peace, away from fckdup authorities. Most of my friends stayed in Russia, so we sometimes feel a bit lonely here. That’s why we host people on Couchsurfing — to meet and connect with amazing people from all over the world. We don’t travel very often ourselves, unfortunately, but I hope we’ll get to go somewhere someday. I enjoy sports, playing tennis and basketball, hiking, going on road trips, and hanging out at concerts or bars with a beer — basically, all the things regular young people do.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
We try to help our guests discover Kazakhstan and offer the kind of warm hospitality Kazakh and Russian people are known for. I believe CS using It's the best way to truly get to know a country.
Музыка, кино и книги
When I work out, I like listening to classic rock — AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and other high-energy music. When I’m chilling by the pool, I usually play something more relaxed like jazz — Chet Baker and the like. If we’re on a road trip with friends, I often put on music from ‘80s movies — stuff like The Police or Tears for Fears. And when there’s no internet, I’m fine with listening to whatever pop is playing on the radio. I’m a fan of films by Stanley Kubrick and the Coen Brothers. I also enjoy obscure arthouse movies that hardly anyone knows about. I’ve watched a lot and I keep up with many shows and films from past decades. Right now, I’m catching up on Russian classics I skipped in school — reading Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
1) Went on an early morning hike to Big Almaty Lake just to enjoy a sandwich. 2) Tried playing golf — turned out to be cheaper than tennis. 3) Quit my job to start a fast-food business (still in progress). 4) Once worked as a high-rise window cleaner. 5) Beat The Last of Us Part II on the hardest difficulty.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can play tennis or basketball with you, go snowboarding or just hike the mountains of Almaty. Aslo ich möchte mein Deutsch üben lub porozmawiać z kimś po polsku. I can also chat with you in Russian and teach you some fun words. I'd also be happy to trade banknotes for collections — I’ve got some Russian rubles!
Что я могу предложить хостам
My guests can count on free breakfast, lunch, dinner, somd beer, fresh bed linens, laundry, a shower, and my company while exploring Almaty. In return, we expect cleanliness, respectfulness, and if you know how to cook — feel free to make something for dinner!
