Dhamma Vipassana practitioner. Sharing pure love 🧡

Living as a nomadic soul originally from Central Asia steppes. Interested in etno music instruments and shamanic journeys.

I play the violin and piano since I am 6 years old, welcoming all musicians:)

Keeping everything in a balance, hate extremes. but usually you go to very extreme side consciously to find that “perfect balance”. I’m into self (development, knowledge, expression). interested in massage, body therapy, shibari. I’m also tactile, sensual, good listener and talkative person

Always open for smth new and new individuals in my life with whom I have common values. I really do appreciate honesty, sincerity and calmness in individuals since I consider myself in that way. Btw, my name translates from kazakh language as Nur - shiny, zhan - soul. Nurzhan - shiny soul

SOME INFO FOR MY GUESTS AND HOSTS:

GUESTS
I don’t host you if you plan to come to my place after 10pm. I don’t leave keys somewhere outside, I value my flatmate’s safety. If you stay with me for more than 1 night, then we can somehow figure it out with the keys if you’re planning coming back late hours, so you’ve guided in advance and can find your place easily with no much noise and lights.
Since I offer a sofa in shared place combined with kitchen, I’d love if you have similar biological clock, so I can easily do my morning stuff in that area. At early morning I usually spend time in my room meditating, working, so I’m ok if you get up around 9am. After 9 I will be quite noisy with coffee machine and having breakfast. But I can always offer you earplugs and eye mask.

It's okay for me if you want just here to sleep or spend time at home talking, playing, cooking, eating, but I’m not super talkative at early mornings and late evenings. I prefer no bright lights after 8pm, I use candles. if I have free time, I’d love to spend it with you hanging out, showing you the city.

It’s not pet friendly only because my landlord doesn’t accept it, but I love pets. I have a gecko 🦎.

HOSTS
I respect your space, borders and anything that you value most. I’m very adaptive and flexible, so I’m up to almost anything, just offer it. I usually have plans for my visit, where to go and what to see, but I’d love to get your guidance too. Actually I’d prefer your opinion and will consider it as a priority for my day. I love museums, art, architecture, walking streets, hiking and anything active. I’d love to spend time in nature: e.g. forest bathing.
Sometimes I meditate at early mornings and before sleep, so if you see me in meditating pose or I’m not answering you, please respect it. It doesn’t mean that you should stop doing something or being silent, you can do whatever you want that doesn’t touch me physically.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tend to think as I am European, rather than asian, that mostly hides his feelings and emotions in front of others. I love a new faces, places. Discovering so various cultures, being in touch with our planet and I know, for sure, that CS is the best place to find individuals as you.

Update: using this app so rarely, I was using it much before (2016-2020)
