If you are thinking of visiting central Kazakhstan drop me a line. I will be here for at least another year and welcome guests. What I enjoy most about travel is meeting people, immersing myself in new cultures and experiencing a richer picture of what it means to be human. learning about who I am by experiencing that which is different to me. I love trying new foods and ways of cooking. Also learning dances especially Latin. I write songs, play guitar and hope one day to have my own album available online for friends and 'fans'. :-)
