On an everlasting soul-searching trip, while doing all the necessary adult things like full-time job. Try to approach life with a "don't judge and you shall not be judged" mindset. Will try anything new once (with a number of exceptions). Like to think of myself as an open-minded and excepting individual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use travelling as a way to stay grounded and grow as a human-being. It is easy to get carried away with the mundane tasks of the day-to-day life. Therefore, it is important to stimulate your perception of the world with new adventures, new people, new places and cutures every once in a while as this gives you an opportuntity to reassess your life values and just learn from people to be a better, happier person. It's pretty amazing when you have somebody absolutely new and unfamiliar to share their strory with you, and when they let you become a part of that story even if for a couple days. In my experience, some of the best conversations I've had in life were with absolute strangers. I have been registered on here for a while but never got to try CS out. Through CS I hope to meet new awesome fun people and learn more about their culture, as I believe people are the ones who make up a full-emmersion adventure, not monuments and museums. When I have my own place, which should be this upcoming winter, I plan to host people and show true Kazakhstan to them=)
