I founded a private language school in Samarkand helping people speak English and prepare them for entrance exams to universities and getting IELTS/TOEFL certificates. December 2023 I decided to take a break from work and start traveling in Turkey, Saudi Arabia(mainly for Umrah), Georgia and, Russia, China, Singapore- the longest I've ever traveled, 2 years in total. I've hosted a great number of travelers from around the world. Some I did get along, some made friends with. Why am I on couchsurfing? To share knowledge, to learn, connect on a deep level, inspire, and get inspired. insta: shamil_obidov
