I build my life the way that gives me time for family, friends, music and mountains. I try to take the most out of my work and free time and give the most to people surrounding me. Being in music for more than 20 years, I guess I suffer from some kind of professional deformation, but I wouldn't change a thing about it \m/.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Talking to people from other countries I'm constantly readjusting my world view. Visiting places and meeting people helps me see the bigger picture and find inspiration for creativity.

Couchsurfing is an easy way to find people open for communication and willing to learn and share things.

Internet has been changing the world. We exchange real relations for virtual ones. I like this site for actually helping people meet in the real world.

Interests

I'm the vocalist/guitarist of Kashgar, currently the only metal band in Kyrgyzstan. I also run a small recording/practice studio and organize the only international metal festival in Central Asia, "Kuturgan Fest" ("savage" in kyrgyz), which is held in Bishkek for the third time in 2019 and is headlined by the legendary Sepultura!
