My name is Bekzhan and the surname I got from my grandfather who’s name was Mukambetkaly. Originally born in the city of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬
But my roots leads to the city of Karakol, located in Issykul region, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the world.

Currently, I am doing my studies in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Expect to be graduated in 2022, with the bachelor in Information Engineering. Here I met many interesting people from all around the world, cause of what, now I plan to visit a lot of countries which I heard a stories from my friends.

During my life I’ve visited not that much countries. I had pleasure to visit such countries as:
Italy 🇮🇹 (Napoli, Rome, Valencia, Lazio cities) in 2008.
Indonesia 🇮🇩 (Jakarta, Den Pasar - Bali) in 2020 before the corona outbreak 🥲
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR living there for 3 years already, and felt in love with it.
Of course Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, being the one of our brother nations.

My goal for the closest future is to take a trip in the Central Asia, and visit such countries as Tajikistan 🇹🇯, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿. And Later on going to take full Europe trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couch surfing since I love interactions between people.
Culture exchange, learning new facts I never knew before feels amazing.
Visiting some region and staying in a hotel seems too boring for me. Especially knowing that at the same time with even less amount of money, you can get experience and culture exchange with the regular people living in that zone.
After all, Kyrgyz nation is a Nomad Nation, we can’t stay at the same place for too long. That’s why we Couchsurf 🤷🏻‍♂️

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is indeed “The Prestige” 2006, directed by Christopher Nolan.
Most interesting books I’ve ever read was trilogy by Khaled Hosseini: “The Kite Runner”, “A Thousand Splendid Suns”, “And the Mountains Echoed”.
Speaking of my favorite music, I can mention Kazakh rapper from the city of Pavlodar, who is now known worldwide as “Scriptonite”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a trip with no finance at all.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most probably, people from Europe, Oceania or America do not know anything about such small country located in the Central Asia (I can tell that since even people in a bordering country, which is China, do not know much about Kyrgyz people). However we have traditions and culture which would be very interesting to find out.
Predicting your question, I’d say that “Bride kidnapping” is no longer legal action, such crime can end up in getting jailed for 10 years. However, some people still commit this act, which I truly refuce to accept.
