Hey, I’m Nijat. I was born and raised in Azerbaijan. I enjoy good company, long walks, and discovering cities through their food, coffee spots and local people.

I’m the founder of GACH Running Club, a community of runners that started with a few friends and slowly turned into one of the most active running groups in the country.

When I’m not running, I’m probably walking around the city with a camera in hand, capturing quiet street scenes and everyday moments.

I’m easygoing, respectful, and always up for sharing stories over coffee :) Whether you’re visiting my hometown or hosting me in yours, I’m looking forward to connecting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and believe the best part is connecting with people and experiencing their culture firsthand.
I enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and learning from others.
I’ve heard many positive reviews about Couchsurfing from my friends and realized that it perfectly aligns with my worldview. So, I decided to try traveling this way myself.
