Hey there!

I'm Zarina, originally from Astana, Kazakhstan, but have lived in the UK for a couple of years with my family. Now I'm living and working in Maastricht at a laboratory for regenerative medicine, I love the science and the international community here :)

I also work as PR part-time for a student organization in Maastricht and teach Russian when I have the time.
Since Maastricht is so small I like to spend my weekends going to new cities and towns. I love to cycle, play the piano, listen to jazz and eat good food!

I also enjoy visiting museums and art exhibitions. Maastricht is big on Jazz, so I love going to little performances around the city when I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I like to meet new people and especially see how the locals live in the towns I visit. My first experience on CS was with my best friend in Paris, where the host was lovely and gave us plenty of advice on what to see and where to go :) After that, I hosted two guys who came to Maastricht for a chess tournament.
