I run a semiconductor company in the San Francisco Bay Area USA. I have a family with 2 kids. I love to travel with my family whenever I get a chance. I will be traveling to Almaty, Kazakstan between Oct 1 to 14th. Please let me know if you would be down to hang out or could host me on those days. I love to cook Indian and Italian dishes - would do so for you in return.
