Salem, friends! My name is Kate, and I'm an American now living in Almaty with my husband, Askhat. I do research at a local university, and Askhat is a tattoo artist. Neither of us are true Almaty locals, but we've called the city home for about 3 years now, and we like to think we've settled in pretty well.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction), playing guitar and ukulele, improving my Russian, and tooling around in Procreate. Askhat is also pretty musical, and we're both major foodies.

We're especially interested in hosting people who are down to have a few beers and some good conversation. Get in touch if you're coming through Almaty!
