My name is Miko, and I love the city where I was born. I work in event organizing and truly enjoy what I do and the impact I have on my city. I live in an apartment right on the seafront with a beautiful view of the Caspian Sea. Sometimes I go hitchhiking around the region with friends, and we also travel abroad quite often — just not hitchhiking anymore, since time is limited. I have a big dream that I’m slowly working towards.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from different cultures, practicing my English, and getting inspired by open-minded views on life.

Interests

I love what I do — event organizing. It’s my favorite hobby that has turned into my job. Besides events, I work out at the gym with a trainer, study English in group classes, and take vocal lessons. I also go hitchhiking with friends to beautiful nature spots in our region, attend concerts, join creative workshops, cook delicious breakfasts, and do lots of other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t really read books, but I sometimes listen to audiobooks. I listen to music depending on my mood — mostly indie, classical, and electronic, especially ambient. When it comes to movies, I’m mostly into biographies, drama, arthouse, and sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Interesting question… Once I gathered 40 people and we all hitchhiked 300 km from the city to a beach. It was a lot of fun! We split into groups of four and competed to see who would get there first.😅

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about the history, culture, and places of my country, region, and city. I’m happy to show you around, and sometimes we can even go to parties or interesting events — I work in the event industry.
