Hello! I'm a student currently living in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Originally from Portland, OR, I moved to the East Coast for college. I've also studied abroad for extended periods of time in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Moldova.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and practice speaking different languages with native speakers. Every time I've stayed with couchsurfers it's ended up being a highlight of my trip. I appreciate the real value for hospitality and getting to know people with different backgrounds. I look forward to the day when I can welcome guests to my home and hear their stories!

Interests

I like activities that bring me outside, around people playing music, or working with my hands.

• violin
• hiking
• languages
• playing ukulele

Music, Movies, and Books

I love learning to play and sing folksongs in different languages. Kazakh tunes are my favorite! I mostly read classics and sometimes a good mystery. ..

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I've got my ukulele with me, I can sing you some of my favorite songs! I'd be happy to try to learn yours as well, or teach you some chords. It's a simple instrument to play, but warm and friendly :)
