This is my first time traveling in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. I have wanted to visit the apple forests of Almaty and the Walnut-Fruit Forest of Arslan-bob since I was a teenager. And now, I am finally doing it!

I like befriending new people, doing yoga, exploring new cities and forests, hunting, cooking, gardening. Interested in religion, ecology, culture, farming and activism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
