Hi, I'm Oleg, 29 y.o. guy living in a lovely Almaty city! I have traveled quite a lot and really love CS community.
Covid brought some disturbance in our lifes and we stopped travelling that much. I'm trying to come back to my travelling habits and schedule thus I'm getting back to CS as I can host people now.
I like to hang out with my friends and play board games with them (many of them, the favorite one for now is Machi Koro), some action games like Alias Party, charades and JackBox. We like to go out for some interesting exhibitions, galleries, cafes and hiking (some easy routes :>).
I don't smoke and usually don't drink much.
People usually treat me like a kind, considerate and calm guy. I cannot tell I'm that funny person (especially when speaking English as I need more practice) but it should be easy to communicate with me :)

I think it worth mentioning (just to avoid any misunderstanding) that I was born and lived the most part of my life in Russia. Due to the war Russia started last year I decided to leave it and looking for a better place in the world now (with stop for some good work and rest in Kazakhstan).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the best way to discover the culture of other counties and mentality of the local people.
And after the little couchsurfing experience of mine and my friends I think that gives you the huge emotions and impressions.
Now I'm able to host so I want to exchange the experience as host too.

Interests

Quizzes and board games. We meet with my friends almost each week to play together some board games or join a quiz. We are into to Call of Ktulhu, Secret Hitler, Game of Thrones. Crazy six hour games are always fun for us and we do not get bored :)

Movies. I like to go to the cinema or watch movies at home.

Cooking. Trying something new when I have time on the weekends. Like to cook complex dishes and baking.

Traveling. The last one gave me the most exciting and useful experience in my life. That's why I'm here.
More information about interests I've already wrote in 'about me'.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love any kinds of music it's only depends on my mood and the how a song sounds. Mostly I like some 'weird' music which hard to describe but it's mostly electronic :)

Movies - Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Schindler's List, Inception, Stand by me, Harry Potter, Arrival, Nocturnal Animals, Alien and others.

Books - I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter series. I really like Anton Chekhov and Daniel Keyes with his Flowers for Algernon and The Minds of Billy Milligan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an amazing dinner with couchsurfers in Stockholm
Visiting Japan - the most attractive country! Have visited twice actually :)
