Hi! I currently live in Aktau (nice city on the Caspain Sea coast), Kazakhstan, and I have a possibility from time to time (as we are not in the city sometimes) accept guest and provide them with information about the site. I'm a founder of the Culture Center "Montmartre" here, which events you can also attend.

I'm married. I read lectures about art history nowdays and arrange art workshops and concerts.

I am also a member of the International Travel Club that provides good hotel discounts all over the world (including Hilton, Marriot, Movempick etc) and gives a free incentive trip to new members.
So, I'll try to summerize all the benefits and made a file: https://disk.yandex.kz/i/rAgobu1NXcya4Q

If you travel often and you do not stay at hosts or friends, then it's really profitable. It's a closed club, you migh't use it until you aren't a member 😉
