My name is Malika. I am here to meet more interesting people, to share travel experience and discover the world.
I am married and have a wonderful son.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was always interested in communicating with people from other countries. I enjoyed to listen to guests about their motherland, culture, traditions. This passion inspired me to learn English at school and continue my education in university as a translator.
And of course I adore to share information about Kazakhstan. Because we live in such a big country and have very beautiful traditions.

Interests

I started hiking since I was at school, when I joined a group. We used to go to the mountains every Sunday, twice a year we had big trips on several days, also we had floated by Ili river.
Motorcycles became my passion since I was 14. I started ride a moped then tried myself in riding motorbike.
I started skating when I was 8 and still love it.
Snowboarding appeared in my life about 5 years ago. I enjoy it because you need to be strong and brave for learning skills and stand on board confidently.
I am afraid of height and decided to remove this phobia by rope jumping. I have already had 3 jumps and planning to continue.

• motorcycles
• snowboarding
• ice skating
• rope jumping
• hiking in the mountains
