👋 Hey there! I'm a Product Manager in the IT field, originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿—a warm, welcoming city surrounded by breathtaking mountains 🏔️.

I highly recommend visiting Central Asia! Our region is full of stunning landscapes, rich culture, and, most importantly—amazing food. If you love fresh, flavorful produce, you're in for a treat:
🍉 Sweetest melons & watermelons in July
🍒 Juicy cherries in June (so good you might eat your fingers—trust me!)
🍓 Ripe strawberries & raspberries in August and September
🍇 Delicious grapes in late summer & fall
🥕 Fresh local vegetables straight from farms or markets at great prices

I’m a big foodie, so yeah… I’m not super thin 😂 But don’t worry, gym and hiking keep me in check!

Aside from food, I love traveling, meeting new people, and practicing my English. Tell me about your country—maybe it’ll inspire my next trip!

✈️ Take care & safe travels!

PS: since Im living with kids, Im hosting rarely and only girls 😉
