About Me

Dear reader,

Here is a short story of a traveller...
Yeah, although it may sound corny, anyway, I love travelling like many other people.

And what is my aim?
I am a person like you, who would like to visit different countries, get to know different cultures and have friends around the world. However, I tend to explore each of my visiting city deeper by getting acquainted with its local people, taste traditional cuisine, learn mentality, lifestyle of a host culture and etc.. Like everyone I better understand any culture by visiting it, being engaging in its traditional events/ festivals and certainly by communicating with a host culture representatives.

What have I learned from my recent travels?
First, I have understood my real "I am". I have developed new skills and knowledge in different life situations. I ’ve understood about my inner soul and capabilities, have made more clear "what the life really is?" by challenging myself in different places in the world. Moreover I have found many many friends worldwide.

What motivates me:
The wonders of this world 🌎 . You see so many breathtakingly charming places we have on the Earth. Each country is a unique world by itself. Incomparable with another country, which makes them special and that’s the reason why I would like to discover different countries. It is an a memorable experience...

Who I am?

I am a person who loves music 🎶 . I can play on Dombyra, Guitar, Piano and sing songs (pop and Kazakh songs).

I am a Taekwondo man🥋. Black belt - Champion in a World Championship among juniors (South Korea).

I play football (not American one🤷🏼‍♂️, but soccer 😉 ).

I like having warm/ cheerful/ cool conversations with different people. I can make you smile, when I’m around;) Believe me. 😉

My study is in English, so it enables me speak English very well. In my university are real palms inside living🌴 (sounds cools, isn’t it?!)

Now, important part, 📷 🤓. I love taking pictures:)) So, would dream to have my own photographer near always:) lol, kidding.

If, you decide to visit my city- Astana (the capital of Kazakhstan), just get in touch, will be happy to show my charming city.

About my culture:
Kazakh culture has a rich historical legacy. Kazakhstan is 9th largest by the territory in the world. We have almost 19 million people. Here is a question, how such small nation could preserve a large country through many centuries. My ancestors- Kazakh warriors were greatly spiritual, brave, patriotic and respectful nation. I am proud of being a Kazakh. I love my culture.
National food, language, historical events, Kazakh human values- make us unique in the world. Just worth a visit my country and feel how to be a Kazakh.

Also, like , swimming, visiting national parks, reading books, learning Medicine
