An Almaty local open for showing travelers around, and looking for making friends with expats/travelers that would stay here more longer term, since I miss the international community I was a part of while living abroad:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved being surrounded by people from different cultures. I guess I could say that I thrive in that kind of environment, so I seek it everywhere I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste for cinema has changed greatly over the past few years, but the films I will probably always have and always will love include "The Matrix" and "American Beauty".

And creative documentaries.
