I am currently a postgraduate student, doing my Ph.D. in Education. In addition, am a research assistant in the project related to the Inclusive Education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am quite interested in getting to know new people from all across the world. Since my passion is learning foreign languages, I'm eager to get acquainted with diverse cultures, traditions and customs. I believe, Couchsurfing is an alternative platform regarding gaining that knowledge.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch when I have enough free time and headspace. When I travel, I like to meet people and stay with couchsurfers in other countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like many different styles.

Movies: I like art house movies, funny ones, films that make you think.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to teach anyone Russian, Kazakhs, or help with English, or tell you more about Kazakhstan.

I welcome every opportunity to practice Spanish and Turkish.

For many years, I was an extremely shy and fearful person. I have overcome this by continuously challenging myself, living abroad, doing adventurous things. If you'd like to hear more about this, I'm more than happy to share experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A genuine interest in the people I meet, my smile, my humour, my energy. Everything else will unfold when we meet.
