About me
Hi, I’m Zhazira! I’ve lived in Almaty all my life, and what I love most is how this city blends peaceful nature with cozy urban spots. On weekends, I recharge with long walks through parks, relaxing by fountains, or strolling down Panfilov Street. I’m a big fan of brunch—my friend and I used to try a new breakfast place almost every weekend, so I know lots of great spots for eggs, pancakes, or a lazy cappuccino. I also love Italian food and can recommend some amazing places for pizza, pasta, and fresh salads.
In the past, I was into board games and spent time at time-cafés. These days, I’m more into slow, mindful experiences: tea ceremonies, cuddle parties, or simply sitting on a bench soaking up the vibe. I’m always discovering something new in Almaty, and I’d love to share it with others who enjoy the little things, just like I do.
