I'm just a guy, living in Almaty (Kazakhstan) with my family (wife and two kids).
I love travelling and meeting new people around the world. Fan of rock and heavy metal, photographer-amateur (die-hard fan of Nikon), now learning mobile videography.
Expert in medical equipment and gadget geek (on one of my previous jobs I had nickname "Gadget-Man", 'cause I had a lot of different electronic devices (almost like now)).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see new unfamiliar countries through eyes of people living there, to know about their culture and mode of life from the inside.
