My name is Irina, I live and study in Kazakhstan, though I was born in Turkmenistan. Currently I am a 2-year student of law school and I also do a part-time job in my university. I constantly participate at Model United Nations and in future I would like to connect my life with the UN. I have many international friends and I enjoy learning more about foreign cultures. I really love hiking, if I find cool places of ecotourism I put a goal before myself to hike there! As a student of law school I spend most of my time reading legal texts and codes, but I do not forget to go out on Fridays after my hard studies :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about people of, culture and morals of a country rather than sitting alone in a hotel :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I used to work as a Russian language tutor, so if the hosts would like to learn some basic phrases in Russian, I'll be glad to teach them. I may tell them many stories about Central Asia, our culture and traditions and bring some souvenirs! :)
