I’m Dastan, 28, originally from Kazakhstan. A dentist by training, now working in healthcare management — which means I spend my days making sure patients get the right care, and my nights dreaming about the next adventure.

I’ve traveled across most of Europe, the United States, Russia, and Asia — from the tropics to the Alps. Each journey gave me stories, flavors, and friendships that I carry with me. I believe travel is less about ticking countries off a list and more about feeling the rhythm of a place, whether it’s a quiet street café in Paris or a tennis court in Istanbul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet curious, open‑minded people who enjoy sharing stories and cultures. I don’t just want a couch — I want conversations, laughter, and maybe even a tennis match if you’re up for it.
