Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would very like to travel by Couchsurfing service, because I want to spend my time with people from different countries, cultures, get to know local food and languages. It's also a good chance to share my own experience, language with hosts. In addition, of course it's a cheapest way to travel, so Couchsurfing is a great way to save some money for more trips!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my biggest challenges so far was a marathon in Almaty, 2015. I've been preparing for 4 months for this event, and in may a started my distance 42 km and finished in 5 hours 57 minutes. The hardest part was not to give up running after half of the distance, and I wanted to do so every 500m, however I managed to finish my run in 6 hours, receiving my medal of participant. I think that would definitely be one of the stories I would lilke to share it with my grandchildren.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a student with 2 years of work experience I realize that I don't have much to share from the professional experience. However, I think I've traveled enough to give some assistance with bookings, transportation, etc. I am also a perfect Kazakh and Russian speaker, and I think most hosts from Europe interested to get to know Russian culture and language, I am very familiar with it, so I can indroduce it to them. In addition, I've been working in USA for 3 months by Work&Travel USA program, so I can help managing it as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a guitar player, and my playlists includes dozens of English songs, so it would be a big pleasure for me to spend some time with hosts playing/teaching guitar lessons, singing. Knowledge of Kazakh and Russian languages gives me opportunity to introduce culture of Kazakhstan or any country from post-Sovet Union.
