Salaam — I’m Ali, 20, from Multan, Pakistan, currently studying medicine in Bishkek. I’m a student, a traveler, and a content creator (TikTok: @docali55).
I love cultural exchange: cooking a meal together, exploring local markets, or helping other students,travelers with practical things like finding bus routes, cheap eats, or study tips. I’ve also traveled to Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and hope to explore more of Central Asia soon.

Languages: Urdu, English, and conversational Russian — so I can help you navigate in Bishkek easily.

I enjoy showing people around Kyrgyzstan’s gems:
• Bishkek: Ala-Too Square, Osh Bazaar, Panfilov Park, Philharmonia.
• Mountains: Ala Archa National Park (just 40 min away — amazing hiking & views).
• Lakes: Issyk-Kul (one of the largest alpine lakes in the world — must-see!).
• History & culture: Burana Tower, traditional yurts, horse culture.

I usually host 1 guest for 1–4 nights in my private hostel room. I’m available most weekends and usually every day , and I prefer guests who respect quiet hours and shared spaces.

✨ Fun side of me
• I make spontaneous TikToks — if you want, we can create content together!
• I love late-night deep talks about life, travel, and culture.
• I can show you secret student hangouts and cheap but tasty food spots.
• I sometimes plan last-minute adventures (like sunrise walks or random bus rides just to see where we end up).

If you want to meet, just tell me your arrival time, where you’re staying, and one fun fact about you — I’ll reply fast. I believe in kindness, curiosity, and making strangers feel like family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I love meeting people, making friends, and creating stories. I’m a medical student in Bishkek and a TikTok creator (@docali55). For me, hosting or meeting someone is a chance to exchange ideas, cook food together, film a fun video, or explore Bishkek’s streets.

I also want to help travelers discover Kyrgyzstan: the mountains of Ala Archa, Issyk-Kul lake, and the hidden corners of Bishkek that only students know. In return, I’d love to learn about your culture and experiences.

Interests

• Making TikToks (sometimes with strangers 😅).
• Photography & storytelling.
• Hanging out in bazaars, capturing local life.
• Movies that make me think deeply or laugh loudly.
