One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Born human > trying to be a good one. that’s the only thing that matters

Teach, Learn, Share

since i’m a journalist, i know about so many fields i have to write about, starting local culture and places ending economics and social justice. my big interest is psychology, so i know things about it, too. i speak fluent English and Russian, and some Kazakh.

I can share my understanding of things, my taste in music, movies or books, some travel stories and other stories, can tell you a lot about therapy since i’ve been in it for a while now. I can for sure share my knowledge on Central Asia region, culture, politics etc.
