Hello 👋🏽
My name is Bauyrzhan, but you can call me Baur.
I’m a filmmaker and creative artist from Almaty, Kazakhstan, currently living in Tokyo, Japan. 🎬🇯🇵

I’m a film director and producer, working on movies, documentaries, and video content for music and art projects.
I also used to work as a model and actor.

Beyond filmmaking, I enjoy writing manga, comics, and scripts—especially in the sci-fi and fantasy genres, where I can build worlds from imagination.

Things I like:
🎥 filmmaking & writing
🥋 muay-thai & yoga
🌿 animals, nature, and eco-conscious living
✨ fantasy, art, and creative collaborations

I’m always open to meeting new people, sharing stories, and creating together.
Let’s connect and make something inspiring!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning new things—it’s what keeps life exciting. My goal is to travel the world and make friends everywhere. This app helps me connect with interesting people from other countries, even without leaving home. That’s the main reason I’m here.
