Hey there!

I'm Ulkar, an open-minded global wanderer. Traveling isn't just a hobby for me, it's a lifelong adventure. My truest delight is exploring the uncharted, discovering new horizons, and making each journey a story worth telling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from all over the world and to discover cities by following the advice of real locals who know their city inside out. I'm passionate about connecting with diverse individuals and exploring destinations through the lens of those who call them home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Visited 44 countries and 176 cities;
- Paragliding through the skies;
- Embarking on an epic road trip across the heart of Central Asia;
- Dedicating an entire month in Japan to uncover my "Ikigai" – the Japanese art of finding the reason to wake up every day.
- Conversing in the Mayan language with the descendants of a lost Maya civilization in Coba, Mexico

Teach, Learn, Share

That's a wonderful aspect of my personality - I have a deep curiosity about people's interests, worldviews, favorite foods, and travel experiences. I genuinely enjoy connecting with others and sharing my own passions and adventures. Let's exchange stories and broaden our horizons together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully, some funny stories, a good laugh, and engaging in smart talks! I believe that sharing laughter, lighthearted moments, and insightful conversations with people will make our travels truly memorable.
