Hello! I'm a project organizer, involved in ventures like garage sales, anime festivals, cosplay events and curated cozy acoustic music evenings. I find inspiration in the new, so I frequently explore different places, always discovering something amazing. And of course, I am surrounded by the most wonderful people, my strength and support - my friends and my boyfriend.

I have a passion for stylizing clothing, giving it a unique flair. In my free time, you'll often find me browsing through second-hand stores, uncovering one-of-a-kind treasures. My projects are not just work; they're an opportunity to share my love for what I do. (P.S. I like vintage stuff)

I like to visit different places, travel around countries and immerse myself in the local culture. But the most important thing for me is communicating with people when traveling, because they are the ones who make every experience special and unforgettable.

Come visit and write if you want to learn more about Kazakhstan;)))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of cultural exchange and the beauty of connecting with people from all walks of life. For me, traveling isn't just about visiting new places, but also about immersing myself in different cultures and forging meaningful connections with locals and fellow travelers alike. Couchsurfing provides a unique platform for me to not only find affordable accommodation but also to engage in genuine cultural exchanges, learn from others, and share my own experiences and perspectives. I'm here to explore the world with an open mind and heart, embracing the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that Couchsurfing embodies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is organizing the first anime festival in my city, which attracted over 2500 attendees. It was a tremendous effort that brought together a lot of people to celebrate their love for anime and Japanese culture. Seeing the festival come to life and witnessing the joy it brought to so many people was truly unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy both cooking and exploring cuisines from around the world. Currently, my partner and I are delving into the world of Japanese cuisine, experimenting with simple dishes, while also regularly whipping up Mexican burritos. I'm eager to share recipes and cooking tips, as well as learn more about different culinary traditions.

I'm also passionate about sharing insights into contemporary Kazakhstani culture, including music, films, and lifestyle. As a cinephile, I've watched and continue to explore a wide range of films, and I'm always up for discussing recommendations or sharing thoughts on favorite movies.

For my hosts, I love bringing a taste of Kazakhstan with me, often in the form of "Kazakhstani" chocolate as a small token of appreciation and a glimpse into the flavors of my homeland.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm eager to lend a helping hand and learn along the way. While I may not be a master chef, I'm enthusiastic about exploring the culinary world together. From simple recipes to beginner-friendly dishes, let's embark on a cooking adventure and discover new flavors together.

Beyond the culinary realm, I'm no stranger to household tasks and DIY projects (not a pro also). Whether it's tackling repairs, sprucing up the space, or getting our hands dirty in the garden, count me in! I find joy in being actively involved and contributing to making your home a more comfortable and welcoming place.

Growing up in a small village surrounded by nature and animals, I developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors. From gardening tips to caring for animals, I'm happy to share my knowledge and lend a hand in nurturing your green space or furry friends.

And of course, no visit is complete without a taste of Kazakhstan! I always come bearing "Kazakhstani" chocolate as a sweet token of appreciation, adding a touch of home to our time together.
