Trying to make it work with 2 small businesses: a pet grooming salon and an optics shop. Working in both myself, with just a couple of staff.
Always wanted to be a medical doctor and still planning to get that degree once the businesses will provide enough.

Travelling with my girlfriend, who is a medical doctor and an executive at one of the top hospitals in Kazakhstan, which makes her the most interesting and also most humble person in the room most of the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess I need to really feel that I live in this big world, to share good times with new people and try to do good to others.
Sounds cheesy, but feels right.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organised some sports and educational events where people had really good time and hopefully were inspired to go and do some cool stuff.
