My name is Aniya, nice to meet you!

I am a designer in the IT industry from Almaty, Kazakhstan. I love traveling and getting to know new people.

Challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone and learn more about the places I'm visiting.

I Joined Couchsurfing during my second solo trip and had an amazing experience meeting hosts as well as joining hangouts.

Currently on a slow but steady journey of visiting as many countries as I can.
I love long walks in new cities, trying new foods, and the joy of learning new things.

When in Almaty I'm happy to offer advice about the city or meet up.

P.S. I know this section sounds super generic, writing isn't my strong suit, but I'm a great listener.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

- To see the world
- To meet people from around the world
- To explore cultures and places
- To get deeper knowledge about places I visit
- To immerse myself in culture and traditions

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I love all kinds of music, starting from classical to rock. In my playlist you can find Disney soundtracks, Imagine Dragons' latest hit, a niche indie band's songs and acoustic covers.

I am a huge Porterhead and science fiction lover. Recently, I've been reading books about startups, IT, and design. My favourite authors are Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov.

Nature and space documentaries are something I spend a lot of time as well. On top of that, I usually watch the latest blockbuster and Marvel movies, Netflix comedies and series, and everything in between.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Went to study to another country at 17 alone, without knowing English.

Also, recently flew with a hand glider.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

My friends describe me as a good listener, responsible and reliable person. I lived in Central Asia and studied in Southeast Asia, can share my experiences.

We can discuss IT and design, games and movies, or learn about each other's backgrounds.

We can practice Russian if you are learning it)
