Hey there! I'm a law teacher at Tashkent State University of Law in Uzbekistan and starting my MPA Public Administration at the University of Birmingham. I love exploring different cultures and making new connections around the world. My journey has taken me to fascinating places, both through my studies in law and environmental issues and through the incredible experiences I've had volunteering and attending conferences.

I have been in the USA for one semester as a visiting scholar in 2023. I spent 4 months at Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane, WA. I went to Indonesia, Turkey, Belgium, and Kazakhstan for conferences and youth volunteering programs in 2022-2024.

I’m someone who values meaningful conversations, whether they’re about legal systems, environmental challenges, or simply sharing stories over a cup of tea. I believe in the power of learning from each other and creating a safer, cleaner environment for future generations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because I believe in the idea of sharing experiences, learning from locals, and giving back to the community. Couchsurfing offers a unique way to see the world, not just as a tourist but as a participant in the daily lives of people across the globe. I’m excited to meet new friends, share my culture, and learn from yours!

In September 2024, I will begin my MPA in Public Administration at the University of Birmingham. I therefore made the decision to register for a Couchsurfing.com account in order to remain in Birmingham before moving into a new flat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I translated the new constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan from Uzbek into English and translated Finnish Constitution into Uzbek.

I was chairman of the committee of the Youth Parliament in Uzbekistan and took part in legislation with MPs of Uzbekistan.

I was a team member and expert of the web portal of E-petitions' "Mening fikrim" (my opinion) in 2018-2020.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share insights into Uzbekistan's rich culture, discuss environmental and legal topics, or simply cook a traditional Uzbek meal for you. I’m also happy to exchange language skills or help with any eco-friendly projects you might have going on. Most of all, I hope to share a lot of laughs and memorable experiences! I am good at table tennis (ping pong), football and e-FIFA, and card games.
