My name is Alima. I come from Kazakhstan. I live and study in the caputal city - Astana. I am doing a Bachelor degree of International Relations. I am keen on learning a great variety of foreign languages, meeting new people from all over the world, which will be essential to broaden our horizons and practice new languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like getting integrated with other wonderful people in the world. I believe Couchsurfing is the best place to achieve all my aspirations to get acquainted with different, at the same time unique cultures, languages and the way of living of other members. And ultimately, to become close and lifelong friends!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It seems that I found my second family-full of amazingly kind people, who hosted me in Paris. I have never expected such a great welcome in another country by completely unknown people. I am so blessed to have such an amazing family in Paris

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my mothetongue-Kazakh, English, Russian and Spanish for beginners. I would like to learn French, Italian, Turkish, as well as I am interested in practicing Spanish with natives. I can share my Kazakh culture, history and other interesting aspects of my Motherland-Kazakhstan, as it is little known for foreigners.

My hospitality, time and lots of sweets, as well as showing around of Astana currently.
