Hello there!
My name is Murad, I am 22 and I am from Azerbaijan. I was born in Azerbaijan and spent half of my childhood in Kazakhstan. I have got my bachelor's degree in Baku and now I am staying in Europe and getting my master's in Vilnius, Lithuania. Currently I am staying in Tallinn, Estonia to get my second joint master's degree as an Industrial Engineer:)

I am very communicative, easy going and open minded. I was raised with a words that culture should be the priority for a person. Although I am studying to be an engineer, art is my favourite topic: I love meeting creative people and talking to them. I love sports, especially Soccer, my favourite team is Atletico de Madrid. I like taking pictures, doing design, learning new languages and taking new challenges aboard. I play guitar a little, dream to learn bass and piano sometime. Travelling is my passion and I am trying to do it as much as I can.
Also, I should mention that I am very neat, non-smoker and do not drink. All genres of music are my favourite, I listen to what better suits my mood, from classical to pop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I am pretty new here, the possibility to meet so many interesting people is tempting, mixed with a traveling is the great opportunity to get to know many creative minds, explore new countries and widen your vision of the world.
