Originally from Uzbekistan, have been living in Germany for 10 years now. I studied business management, worked in supply chain management and now working in data management.

In my free time I read books, play football, watch movies, go for hikes, hang out with friends and visit new places. So far I have been to 17 countries and 70+ cities around the world so there are more places to explore.

I love trying new cuisines and dishes. I am not a great cook but I can cook some Uzbek somsa (similar to samosas) if you want.

I find joy in all kinds of music depending on the mood - starting from metal ending with country.

I enjoy striking up a conversation with strangers. Most of the time it is a waste of time but every now and then I find an oddly interesting conversation partner in a total stranger. You never know who might be the next interesting conversation partner for you during that short train ride /wait in the line/short flight.

Looking forward to exploring the world and kind people in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After a significant life event I want to explore the world, meet new people, hear their stories and share mine.
