My Philosophy is "Create and Travel"

I consider myself as a creative person. My main major is Computer Science, but I always had passion to make graphic design. Since I was 15 I started to create logo deigns, posters, video and web design. Nowadays I work as a User Interface designer, and I also make User Experience design. I'm in love with my job. It is incredible feeling, when you create something and it ends up worldwide. And everyone can witness and appreciate your work.

I love to cook. I started cooking when I was little. But more proffecionally I started to cook in United States. When I was about 19 years old I had my first abroad travel. I participiated the Work and Travel programm. And from then I can't stop travelling and lerning new countries and cultures. I just can't live without it. How can you sit home, while there are a lot of amazing undiscovered things?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why am I here?

The most important thing in the world is relationship with the people. You can be alone, but you won't last long. When I travel I try to meet new people. Because locals can show you the true culture and lifestyle of a country. Couchsurfing is a great place to connect us together. Here are thousands people with the same goal they want to learn new things and meet new people. That is what I'm grateful for.

And as kazakhstanian I am responcible to show people my own culture, so they can know what is Kazakhstan, and what kind of people live there. Also, as a cook, I'm interested to know as many different national cuisines as I can.
