I travel a lot and consider myself an early-career scholar, passionate about personal faith, philosophy, and exploring cultures. I’m originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan, and while I’ve been fortunate to see much of the world, I’ve yet to make it to the Southern Hemisphere!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel isn’t just about places, it’s about people. I appreciate open-mindedness, kindness, and good conversation. Whether you’re up for deep discussions or just want to share a meal and some laughs, I’m happy to go with the flow.

Музыка, кино и книги

When it comes to music, I like anything I like, simple as that! My taste ranges from classical to Eminem, depending on the mood. As for movies, I’m mostly into action, Marvel, Batman, Fast and Furious, but my all-time favorite is Bruce Almighty. It just hits differently. When it comes to reading... well, I mostly read boring academic stuff. I haven’t touched fiction in about 15 years, and I really should get back to it someday!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I woke up this morning and got to experience this beautiful world once again. I’ve been doing that for 38 years now, and it never gets old.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I could share some travel tips, but let’s be honest, most people on Couchsurfing are already seasoned travelers. So instead, I’ll stick to what I can really offer: I can teach you some Kazakh or Russian, give you a few ping-pong tricks, or even show you some Taekwondo moves!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I’ve collected quite a few travel stories over the years, some hilarious, others... not so much. Like the time I lost my laptop at Frankfurt Airport (not my finest moment), or when I found my carry-on waiting for me at the Zurich airport police office. Let’s just say, travel always keeps me on my toes!
