I am 23-year old software developer from Kazakhstan. Currently I live in Astana, which is the capital of our country. I realy like to travel and explore new worlds, cultures and people. I am new to Couchsurfing, since before that I used to stay at hostel and flats. I like footbal, music and travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to make more friends throughout the world and meet interesting people. I used to stay at hostels and apartments before (even spent a couple of nights on the beach in Barcelona), and always been hearing about couchsurfing and how fun it is. I'm here to make more friends throughout the world and meet interesting people. I think making friends is the most important part of travelling, since best memories are the ones which were share with someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to quite large variety of styles from alternative rock to pop music (yes, sorry, sometimes I do listen to pop). My favorite bands are Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Snow Patrol and M83, while from artists I like songs of Ed Sheeran, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Joshua Radin, David Gray and Tom Odell.

As for movies, there are plenty of them, which somehow influenced me, but my favorites are The Lives of Others, About Time, La La Land, Logan, Manchester by the Sea, Godfather and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. I also love watching series such as Peaky Blinders, True Detective, Rick and Morty, Over the Garden Wall and Walking Dead.

And last but not least is the book topic. First of all, I am a fan of Hemingway and most of his books, also like reading Fitzgerald, Rowling, Tolkien, Patrick Ness and John Green.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled to Spain when I was 19, without any experience, having not much money and a huge enthusiasm. I worked for two years to earn enough money to pay for flight tickets and ended up spending 30 days in Spain and visiting about 15 cities there. That was the start of my travelling history, and it was the most important and amazing thing I have ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent and in English, Kazakh and Russian, so I can easily help you with the local language and explain any cultural features that may be observed. Moreover, I am open in case anyone needs help with travelling here, in Astana, so do not hesitate to contact about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

There is a free room in my flat with double bed. The kitchen, bath and toilet are free to use by guests. Also to mention - TV, hair dryer, WiFi and beer.
