ABOUT US
We're a super friendly couple (Olga & Ilya) travelling all over the world. We've met 9 years ago at school at the age of 16. Married 4 years ago at the mountain top at Bali, Indonesia. Adopted 2 cats - Timothy and Iris who will be your companions when coming to our flat).

We run 2 businesses - a chain of kids football acaeies & ballet school in Kazakhstan. We've relocated to Astana half a year ago. Before that we have lived 7 years in Moscow, working in top FMCG companies and embassy.
We adore our motherhood- Kazakhstan, and hope that many people will explore this country - great nature, high mountains and deep rivers, and the most heartful people living there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY WE WANT TO COUCHSURF
To meet with people from other countries, try to learn about their traditions, culture, way of life! We also want to relocate abroad in 2-3 years and are looking for a place to go.
