👋 Hey there!
I’m a Product Owner from Almaty, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 — a city surrounded by beautiful mountains 🏔️

If you’ve never been to Central Asia, it’s worth a visit: rich culture, stunning nature, and amazing food

🍉 Juicy melons in summer
🍒 Sweet cherries in June
🍓 Berries in late summer
🍇 Fresh grapes in fall
🥕 Local farm-to-table produce everywhere

I love traveling, good conversations, and practicing English. Tell me about your country — maybe it inspires my next trip ✈️

💛 Hosting note: I live with my kids, so I host rarely and only ladies 🌸

⛔️Couchsurfing is not a dating app, it’s about cultural exchange, respect, and meeting kind people from around the world
Let’s make this world better, one connection at a time 🌍✨

Take care & safe travels ☀️☀️☀️

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’ve visited around 30 countries, some more than once. For me, Couchsurfing is about people, cultures, and real connections, not just travel.

My top countries so far:
🥇 Oman 🇴🇲
🥈 Portugal 🇵🇹
🥉 Thailand 🇹🇭

I love meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and sharing travel experiences.
