I’m curious by default and happiest when I’m learning something new or building something meaningful whether that’s a community project, tech, or a good conversation. I like people who think deeply but don’t take themselves too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to meet people, not just see places. Conversations, shared meals, and everyday moments tell you more about a city than any guidebook.

Interests

Social impact, technology, travel, swimming, long walks, podcasts, storytelling, and asking slightly uncomfortable “why” questions. I enjoy learning how people think and what drives them.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I listen to anything from Uzbek classics to pop music like The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Eminem, Frank Sinatra etc.,

I enjoy non-fiction that plays with ideas and curiosity What If? by Randall Munroe, Think Like a Freak, and books about economics, psychology, and how systems work to classic literature. I also like essays that simplify complex things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked across Kyrgyzstan with my friend back in 2024. One of the most spontaneous decisions we made which turned out to be among the best decisions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Uzbek to anyone curious. I wanna learn more about individual stories and share my background with those interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, respect for personal space, and genuine curiosity. I’m happy to help around, share stories from Central Asia, or just exchange ideas over tea.

Countries I’ve Visited

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United States, Viet Nam
