Hey everyone! My name's Aliya and I'm a 23 year old student currently living in Brisbane. I'm originally from Kazakhstan, but lived in France and Switzerland during my teens. I love all things nature and animals, and am in my final semester of Bachelor of Environmental Management. I love volunteering with different non-profits, meeting new awesome like-minded people, travelling and dancing my nights away at techno parties. Always keen to share good chats and stories :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to truly discover a destination is through the eyes of a local. I love to meet new people, share experiences, stories and interests, and form new friendships!

Interests

• animals
• hiking
• snowboarding
• volunteering
• nature
