Hi, my name is Jibek! I am from Kyrgyzstan and am currently pursuing MA in Budapest. I received my BA degree at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Six years ago I was a high school exchange student at the United States studying in Keota, Iowa :) So I love meeting new people and listening to their stories :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I am in Budapest I dream about traveling to countries and cities which I have wanted to visit for a long time. And I want to make new connections and friends when travelling. I consider travelling, particularly around Europe, as the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity :)

I would like to express in advance the sincere gratitude to all my future hosts for their kindness and openness :) Since I lived in a host family for a year in the USA I know that being a host and willingness to host takes a lot of courage to be open to new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's my decision to study abroad 4 years ago that I had never really dreamt about :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can walk you around Budapest and its city center :)
The city is so wonderful and beautiful :)
