I’m a tourist blogger mostly writing for Russian speaking audience about Australia but keen to explore more of the USA.
I speak Russian (trilingual actually) and look Chinese and have an Arabic name. My culture is quite exotic and horse meat is our national dish. I am originally from Kazakhstan (defs not the Borat country), currently studying bachelor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Computer Science, big fan of Elon Musk, passionate about space exploration, can tell you secrets of the brand new Australian Space agency. In my free time I love playing chess, hiking, skiing, pole dancing, drawing, traveling, anything outdoors and a lot of volunteering: mostly teaching school kids to code robots and build water filters to inspire and encourage them to study STEM and engineering particularly. Travelling is significant for personal growth and invaluable experiences, it helped me to become more mature and responsible and Ive got funny travel stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to hear your view on the environment you're living, some handy tips from locals where to eat and what to do, because I know living in the foreign/home country and being a tourist there are completely different experiences.

As a student renting a house I can not accomodate travellers but I am happy to guide you in either Adelaide (South Australia) or Almaty (Kazakhstan).
