Hi everyone! I am a young journalist from Kazakhstan working for international news agency. Love music and art. My current trip to Italy is full of improvisation because I really don’t know where I am gonna be tomorrow or next week 🤪 Currently in Venice 😍 I speak English, Russian, Kazakh and a little bit French.

I am a real, find my Facebook profile (chorichor) 🤪

I am here for volunteering and help with travel blog for one accomodation services company. If someone's can show me local experience and introduce me to the architecture, arts and culture in Venice? :)
That is my first time in Venice and I am in expectation of Venice Biennale!

I also looking for people in Venice who want to go to the beach on weekends (or cities nearby). Is there some local music festivals in august or other things to do? Please share your ideas :)

I love walking and live music sessions (if you know a good jazz club in Venice, plz tell me). Let's walk and end up a long and hot day having a glass of wine.

If you will be in Astana (Kazakhstan) in September , where I live, we can meet and walk through old city center discussing ruins of Soviet Modernism and modern kazakhstani “governism” 🤪. I'll show you favourite places of my childhood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have 5 years experience in journalism, including reporting on economic issues and energy sector in my country.

Kazakhstan is the country where people speak both Kazakh and Russian languages, I am a native speaker of both of them. I also speak English and a little bit French (i have intermediate level as my language test says:). You can practice your English or Russian with me, or even your Kazakh too. I would to practice my Francais, because since my last trip to France in 2012, I didn’t have a chance to use my French skills.

Countries I’ve Visited

Finland, France, Monaco, Russian Federation, Spain
