My name is Amir, and I am 21 years old. Born and raised in Kazakhstan, I left my country at the age of 17 to study at the American University in Bulgaria, which is located in a small town Blagoevgrad in southwestern Bulgaria. During my studies, I participated in two exchange programs - once in Belgium and once in the United States, so I really only studied in Bulgaria for three years :) My major is Business Administration and my minor is Mathematics.
I am not the most outgoing person, but I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a chance to travel for a little bit via Couchsurfing, and I had an amazing time. I wish to continue exploring different cultures, making new friends and sharing my own experiences.

Interests

My biggest passion is soccer - I can play anywhere at any time. My favorite team is Manchester United, and I try to watch their every game. I also like playing tennis, table tennis, cycling, chess, swimming, listening to almost all types of music and spending time with my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

TV series: Prison Break, Friends, Breaking Bad
I do not really have favorite movies, but I love movies with such actors as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Rachel McAdams, Morgan Freeman, Uma Thurman, Brad Pitt, Will Smith,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling with my cousin Karina around Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Most of the time, we were using couchsurfing to find housing. We did not really have a plan, but just googled things to do and places to go the day before our next flight. In the end, we visited four countries and six cities in eight days.
