I am a human from Astana, Kazakhstan. Currently, studying at UW-Madison as a visiting international student during Summer term.

Cute, nerdy and ambitious girl jumping from cultural/philosophical discussions to meaningless talks about pets, travels, movies and fun-facts. Even though I am only 21, I have been already exposed to 15 different cultures. So, I hope I'll be able to share this experience with you.

Background: feminist activist, debater and nice-human being (ask my mom).
