Overview
About Me
Actually its about us. My profile accommodates two people - me and Eldar. We are couple, and we often travel together. We are both media artists. Eldar though is a musician and sound artist ( interactive art, video and sound art). And I am trained as an architect, yet curate and create art ( video art and spatial installations). We are known in art scene and music as the2vvo ( theZWO). Together we aspire to discover new places, learn from new cultures, new tools and ideas. One of Eldar's favourite spots in the world is LA, CA. And mine is Berlin, DE. Hence one could imagine our love towards art and music. We will be happy to meet new people of different age, interest and background.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We are citizens of the world and believe that process of travelling opens one's mind. As we aspire to travel to variety of places, couch surfing is unique in terms of offering to see places, cultures, traditions and routine from inside. We are also standing for concept of sharing- car sharing, flat sharing ( WG) and tea sharing with great people.

What I Can Share with Hosts
LITERALLY IN ALMATY: there is a nice mirror in a nice room, in the centre of Almaty. There is also a balcony with a view on the mountains. There are few flowers and my mum who lives there too, in the other room. I am always away so you will be staying with my mum of that happens in ALMATY>
POTENTIALLY EVERYWHERE: Despite the fact this profile is linked to Almaty as a permanent address, me and Eldar are always on the road, and as we get to stay here or there - we tend to rent a room/ studio/ flat. If thats the fact, we will be happy to host you there too. That needs to be coordinated though)
