I’m Eldos from the beautiful mountains of Kyrgyzstan 🏞️🐎Life has been quite an adventure - from graduating as valedictorian in International Relations to leading one of Kyrgyzstan's influential public associations running 7 nationwide educational programs.

Now, I'm leading an American startup focused on IT career development, but that's just my day job!

What really drives me is connecting with people and creating positive change.

My grandmother once told me something that stuck with me: 'What we plant today determines what tomorrow will be.'

Whether I'm organizing charity auctions, running educational projects for rural communities, or sharing stories over a cup of traditional Kyrgyz tea, I believe in making each interaction meaningful💫

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Living with an American family in Ohio for as an exchange student 🇺🇸 transformed how I see travel - from Sunday family feasts to cheering at local football games, I discovered that real cultural magic happens in everyday moments.

🌇 I learned that every city has two souls: the tourist façade and the vibrant local heartbeat that only insiders know. Through Couchsurfing, I've uncovered these hidden dimensions both at home and abroad, turning strangers into friends and ordinary trips into extraordinary cultural adventures.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

🎶 My playlist is as diverse as my travel stories! You might catch me listening to Kyrgyz folk music one moment and switching to rock the next. Opera? Why not! It all depends on the mood and moment. Attended Adele’s and Ed Sheeran’s concerts this year.

🎞️ I'm a huge fan of thought-provoking series like Black Mirror - anything that makes you question and think deeper about life.

📚 As for books, I love diving into classics like Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, but you'll also find me buried in books about personal growth and business innovation. I believe every book has something to teach us!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

During high school, I spent every Saturday volunteering at a senior living center. These weekly visits became more than just volunteer work - they were life lessons wrapped in stories. The residents shared their memories, dreams, and sometimes regrets.

These conversations shaped my philosophy: live each day purposefully, collect experiences rather than regrets, and always make time for meaningful connections ✨Their stories taught me that life is too precious to postpone happiness and that the best adventures often start with simply saying "hello" to a stranger.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

🤓Fun fact: my name 'Eldos' carries a beautiful meaning in Kyrgyz - 'El' means 'people' and 'Dos' means 'friend.' I guess I was destined to be a people's friend!

I love sharing stories about Kyrgyz traditions, especially our nomadic heritage and the wisdom passed down through generations👣

I can teach you how to make our traditional bread (boorsok), share some fascinating Central Asian history, or even teach you some basic Kyrgyz phrases. In return, I'm always eager to learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways of life 🗺️

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I bring a piece of Central Asia with me wherever I go ❤️‍🔥
I can share stories about our nomadic traditions, teach you how to make traditional Kyrgyz dishes, or explain the meaning behind our traditional patterns and symbols.
I also love organizing creative cultural exchange evenings - imagine sharing stories over traditional Kyrgyz tea while learning about each other's cultures😉
