Hello!

My name is Asylkan, I’m a traveler from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
I love exploring the world, learning from different cultures, and connecting with inspiring people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is about so much more than sightseeing; it’s about the people you meet along the way.
Couchsurfing gives me the chance to experience places in the most authentic way—through the eyes of locals. I love hearing stories, exchanging ideas, and sharing cultures.

Interests

• Yoga and mindfulness
• Traveling to discover hidden gems and authentic experiences.
• Learning languages—I’m currently improving my English and learning Spanish
• Cooking and trying new cuisines, especially local dishes.
• Hiking and spending time in nature, which feels like home to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• I witnessed the White Nights in Norway, when the sun never sets. It was a magical experience!

• It had been a childhood dream to see a whale, and I was fortunate enough to witness one in the open ocean — a truly breathtaking experience.

• I guided tours through the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey, sharing the history of this magnificent place.

• I celebrated New Year’s Eve in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship — the atmosphere was incredible!

• I rode a motorbike around Vietnam, exploring the island and enjoying the freedom of the open road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you’re interested in learning about Kyrgyz culture, I’d be delighted to share stories about traditions, cuisine, and history from my homeland. I can also cook a traditional Kyrgyz dish for you and introduce you to the unique flavors of my country.
