About me
I am a chill and easygoing person that works almost 24/7. I am a co-producer of the feature-length social film in Kyrgyzstan that talks about women's rights issues and family love. I love to shoot videos, take photos, write stories in my blog, explore something new and meet new people.

- I don’t eat red meat since 2016

- This year I organized an exhibition with my friends about the dreams of the girls in Kyrgyzstan called "Atlas of Dreams".

- Also, this year together with my friend I opened a coworking space for creative and artsy people called "Versare Mesto" (Mesto in Russian means "space/place").

- I run a production studio called "Versare Creative Collective"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from diverse cultures and to share experience and knowledge

HOW DID I JOIN CS?

When my friend took me on a trip, she introduced me to CS community and we were hosted by amazing people with whom we still remain friends. I fell in love with the idea of meeting new people and learning about new cultures through CS
