Hi! My name is Iman, I’m 26, born and raised in Kazakhstan, but I’ve always felt like a citizen of the world. After graduating from aviation university, I ended up tying my life to the skies and have been working as a technical auditor for a major airline for the past five years. This job has given me the chance to travel and see the world from a unique perspective—both literally and figuratively!

I’ve visited quite a few countries, and each journey has become an essential part of my path, filled with discoveries and new connections. When I’m not deep into documents and inspections, I enjoy exploring new cities, finding hidden gems, and soaking up the local atmosphere.

In a few days, I’m heading to the U.S. and would love to meet people who can show me something special, off the beaten path, or just enjoy a coffee and a good conversation. I’m looking forward to new friendships and sharing stories! Oh, and if you need help reaching the top shelf—I’m pretty tall, so I’ve got you covered :) my instagram: i.utegaliyev
