I am a friendly and open-minded person who is fun to be around. I have a good command of the English language because I work for an international school. I organise a mid-week English Pub Quiz for expats in Tashkent and you are welcome to join us.
I would enjoy the opportunity to show you around and advise interesting places to see or where to eat out.
I love singing and sports, enjoy going to concerts, exhibitions or theatres. I also like hiking and travelling. Another passion of mine is reading. I am also in love with my job and the children I teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has given me the opportunity to open up my home to the World. I enjoy greatly to turn strangers into friends offering a safe place to stay and rest.
It is all about spending quality time with each other, trusting and being trusted, sharing moments, creating memories, making connections, building friendships.
I love the concept of Couchsurfing and use it to meet people who do interesting things (either for living and/or for passion) and have wonderful stories to tell (no matter if they are true or not :) I'd love to meet new people, hanging around my hometown; have nice conversations with them! I'd like to listen to people's stories about their lives, their jobs, their countries, their experiences... anything!

I love the idea of sharing things I have and would love to provide you with a bed in an apartment which isn't large but is located in the city centre and which is very convenient to travel to and from.
