I tried to write as much as possible about myself so people know whats the deal :D

I am 23 y/o, I was born in Kazakhstan, but I’m living in the Czech Republic since 2014. I moved on my own due to study and my family is living in Kazakhstan, I come to visit them a few times a year. I have two siblings (I’m the elder one): a sister and a brother.

I’ve been studying French as my first bachelor's degree and tourism management as my second, now I’m studying art management (master degree). I have a part-time job (because I need a flexible schedule during the study) in a crêperie, so I know how to make excellent crepes ;)

I have a dog, it’s a french bulldog, her name is Sally I took her from Kazakhstan to the Czech Republic a few years ago because my sister had to go to the USA on an exchange, it was really stressful but we did it! Also, my room is full of different plants, I’m kinda crazy plant lady hehe.

As a child I used to spent whole summer on my dad’s farm so I’m good enough at horse-riding, also I’ve been training taekwondo but I left because I’m too pacifistic :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never used such thing as Couchsurfing, so I wanted to try some new way of meeting people and getting new experience from traveling, so I registered and wrote about myself as much as I could.

Interests

Interests: I like to visit museums, galleries also theaters (mostly experimental), I adore singing in karaoke or dancing on parties and drinking (a little bit) with friends. I’m a big fan of vintage and I’m always interested in visiting local thrift stores wherever I go. I often take pictures of my friends or different stuff on my film camera, I believe such photos have more atmosphere and vibes. Although recently I didn’t have enough time for some of my hobbies because of school and work, but I'd like to learn how to sew so I could upcycle clothes from a thrift shop or draw, especially with oil paints. I also love techno and rave music. I'm doing my best at living my life sustainable and I'm not a vegan but I'm trying (i almost don't consume meat&milk but the cheese is my guilty pleasure).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to the highest point in the Czech Republic, for me, it's an achievement because in Kazakhstan there are probably only flat fields so we don't climb a lot :)
