Not using couchsurfing as a dating app, please keep that in mind 😶

Heyyy! I am a graphic designer from Astana and love all the things related to my job. I love meeting new people and experiencing something new. Also, I'm very curious about everything and always open to learning new skills, languages and knowledge. I'm easy going and friendly (at least I think so). I like to communicate with people and can talk about anything. I am hugely interested in arts and culture, and the easiest way for me to connect with people is talking about books, movies and music. Also, I appreciate good conversation as well as solitude and time with myself because I think both are essentially important. And the best way of exploring a new place, in my opinion, is just to wander across it, so usually while visiting new cities or showing mine I walk a lot. I mean, A LOT. I really enjoy walking and almost always prefer it to anything else. I can't tell about myself much, but I will always be glad to if someone is interested.
I also believe that music I listen to can tell a lot more about me, so here's the link to my Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/e5vy1amj6rze9va0cteb8qzcl?si=gFkhDR7_QTeeKRyDfgk21A

Interests

I am just curious. Curious about everything. So I adore people, who are passionate about something and can tell a lot about their passion. It may be anything. From guinea pigs to sculpture of 17th century. Anything.

Life. I've done life and I've seen life. That's probably the most amazing thing.
