You can find some tips for Central Asia countries in the end of "About me" section.

A lovely married couple from Shymkent (originally we lived in Almaty).
We like cooking, eating and having fun. We're also interested in reading, art, drawing, photography and many other things.
Can speak almost about everything and are always ready to show our guests around the city if we have time. We like meeting new people and making friends all over the world. Come and know more about us!
We also love CHEESE, good alcohol and good coffee. So, don't hesitate to bring your best cheese ;-)

Say hi to our cat so we can see you've read our profile (it's not a joke).

Please read the rules of our house in "home" section.

We're not vegetarians/vegans. If you are - you'd better tell us in advance so we can prepare some food or find a suitable place.

We don't have a car and don't drive.
