I grew up in Atyrau, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 :) For the last six years, I have been living abroad - first in Turkey/Denmark for my bachelor's, later in the US and France for my master's, and now I am very excited about moving to this beautiful town of Tubingen. This journey has already brought many wonderful memories and friendships, and I can't wait to start a new chapter in Tubingen for the next four years of grad school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just arrived in Tubingen and found the housing situation disastrous. Almost every hotel is booked out, and I am looking for a place for the next few days. I will have a more permanent place soon, but needs some help until Sep 27th 2022.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading! It is hard to pick just one favorite book, but if I could, I would pick Flowers for Algernon.
I have a Goodreads account, and I always look forward to nice book recommendations :) https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/68973109-saudat-alishayeva

I will bring you classic Kazakh chocolate and Turkish coffee, those are two things I always travel with! :) 🇰🇿
