Hi! My name is Alya ;)

I grew up in Kazakhstan (no, I've never met Borat there :)). It’s a multicultural country and I’m open to know about other cultures, traditions, and history. I’m eager to meet new people to talk and share our experience.

In 2016, I visited Central America (Nicaragua) and I understood that our world is big and small at the same time, but people and their experience are immense. Through communication we learn about many things. The experience of living for one month in Nicaragua has changed me, because we never go back from travelling the same. I met wonderful people and this country inspired me to help people around us.

I respect those who have their goals to reach and their roads to explore. I love people who are smiling, funny and easy to communicate with. We can talk about literature, music, cinematography, culture, as well as about everyday things cause I’m not a person with my head up in the sky ;).

I believe in karma, that’s why I’m trying to cultivate kindness and keep my thoughts clean.

Positive vibes!
