First Day in Kazakhstan: Street Art and Earning Experience in Aktau

Hello, I am Oğuzhan Tıraş. I have arrived at the Kazakhstan leg of my world tour and I want to share my first day in Aktau with you. In Kazakhstan, one of the independent Turkic states of Central Asia, where the Dollar is worth approximately 350 KZT, I tried earning money by playing the ukulele on the street. In this article, I will describe the experiences I gained by earning 70 dollars during the two days I spent in Aktau.

First Day in Aktau: Exploring Central Asia

Kazakhstan is a country known for the vast steppes and rich culture of Central Asia. When I first stepped into the city of Aktau, I was curious about what my time here would offer me. In this country where the Dollar corresponds to approximately 350 KZT, I decided to try street art to earn some money.

Earning Money by Playing Ukulele on the Street

I took my ukulele and went out to the streets of Aktau to reach people with my music. During this process, I experienced the interest of the Kazakh people in music and their hospitality. I played on the streets for two days, and during this time, I managed to earn 70 dollars. This was an important start to exploring Central Asia and provided the resources necessary for me to continue my world tour.

These first days I spent in Aktau showed how unique and culturally rich Central Asia is. This experience I gained through street art gave me new perspectives on overcoming the challenges I face while traveling and connecting with the local culture. Kazakhstan is a country that has much to offer travelers, not only economically but also culturally.

Conclusion

These first experiences of mine in Kazakhstan will remain among the unforgettable memories of my world tour. As I continue to explore Central Asia and experience everything this land has to offer, every new piece of knowledge and experience I gain in the process adds even more value to my journey.
