Привет ! Hi, I’m Maks, nice to meet you 😉 ( invite me to Hiking and Walking in Almaty or 🍺 )

I’m was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan (Eastern Europe and the heart of Eurasia / Ex Soviet Union / one of the coldest country -40)

I’m friendly, sociable and a respectful guest and host. I’m always happy to help around the house or with anything else. I enjoy long walks, good food, meaningful conversations and new experiences.

I’m working in the tourism industry. Also, I’m crazy about discovering new places.

I don’t smoke, have no bad habits.
I don't drink strong alcohol, only wine, beer and sometimes Gin tonic.
I don't do any drugs.

My Top 5 places in Almaty:

1. Charyn Canyon (South Kazakhstan, 4-5h from Almaty)
