Hi, I’m Bibinura, 24, originally from Kazakhstan and currently studying civil engineering at Politecnico di Milano (Lecco campus), Italy. I live in a student dorm, so I’m used to sharing space and respecting others. I love learning about new cultures and languages, and I’ve been traveling solo around Europe. I’m open-minded, independent and easy to talk to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet locals, experience cities in a more authentic way and step out of my comfort zone.

Interests

• engineering

• gym

• risk management

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite genre is R&B. I really like artists like SZA, Brent Faiyaz and Bryson Tiller. But my music taste is very mixed, I also enjoy Arabic music, Latin music, reggaeton, pop and rap. It really depends on my mood.

For movies, I like thrillers and psychological thrillers, especially crime and mystery. I enjoy movies that make you think and keep you guessing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved alone to another country to study at Politecnico di Milano and build my life there. Solo traveling in Europe also taught me to be independent and adaptable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about Kazakh culture and traditions, teach some basic Russian or Kazakh words, and maybe even show some simple dance moves 😄 I’m always curious to learn about your culture, language and experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, positive energy, respect for your home and space. I’m a good listener and I think I’m empathetic.
