    🌱 Building a Community – Long-Term Partners Welcome 🌱

    Hello friends,

    I am creating a community of open-minded people who want to live, grow, and build together. I have land where this vision is starting, and I am preparing to set up spaces for residents (including yurts in the near future).

    Right now, I’m looking not only for short-term volunteers but also for those who feel called to settle for a longer time and help shape this place into a real home — a commune built on trust, creativity, and freedom.

    The idea is to start here and, over time, create connected communes in different countries — so people can live, travel, and exchange between them.

    If you’re looking for more than just a stop along your journey — if you dream of co-creating a lifestyle of community, nature, and shared growth — then this could be the place for you.

    Let’s connect and see if our visions align.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Ah... For a time being in Kazakhstan can learn about a unique country which stands on the Great Silk Way. The multinational Republic with mixed marriages, mixed-blood people, and passion for hospitality, meat-eating, mountain trekking, and a lot more. There are a lot of travelers going through Kazakhstan to China or Russia, Mongolia, and they decide to stay or come back to Almaty especially. Here we have the highest ice skating ring, Ski resorts, hunting with eagles, a canyon, and a lot of beautiful lakes.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    There are two rooms possible to stay in. One is a living room and the other a separate room, which is also for photo shooting. Workawayers can use house facilities. WC, laundry, bath, shower, hall, and dining rooms with TV and computer. The kitchen can be and must be used for cooking talent, and cocktail making.

    Kazakh's best dish is boiled meat for more than 2 hours. Afterward add dough, onion, etc. Cause it is how nomads did survive in the steppes of our Motherland. However, I prefer to have different kinds of food. So the kitchen is open to any kind of food. Sometimes thinking of becoming a vegan.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Old Sega games. The place is in the area of the newborn part of the city. Quite far from downtown, but easily reachable by bus and I do often go by car for Couchsurfing or other social events downtown. Also going to the mountains and living in tents.
