ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Lena. I am a journalist, a romantic, a traveler, a dancer, a dreamer, a party-crasher, and just a girl who loves life and people!))

ABOUT MY WORK
My job is awesome. I became a reporter at the age of 15, when I was still at high school and my articles were published in small local papers. Since 18, when I entered the university, and up to present I have been working in the all-Russia daily 'Sobesednik', as well as moonlighting in other publications and on websites, some of which are in the English language. As a journalist I have interviewed over 1000 renowned politicians (incl. deputies and ministers), athletes, actors, singers, directors, writers, TV anchors, and scholars. I also make one-of-a-kind 'Journalist tries on a new trade' reports. I've already worked as a clown doctor, a go-go dancer, a bell-ringer on the Kremlin belfry, a glassware buyer, a pawnshop assessor, a strawberry picker, a movie colorer, a moonshine vodka distiller, a friend for rent, and in many other trades.
I also adore traveling. I've been in many towns, for example, I traveled to Russian and Ukrainian hero cities and wrote a series of features devoted to the WWII victory.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe in God, Love and that everything will be ok!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because it's the best club in the world.

兴趣

I like dancing, singing, swimming, cooking, meeting with my friends, going to any parties, walking, hula hooping, listening to the music, reading, taking pictures, playing with my cat, watching football.

音乐、电影和书籍

As a student I read almost all masterpieces of the Russian and world classical literature. So at the moment I just read newspapers and books in English.

Movies: 'Paris, je T'aime', 'Amelie', 'City Lights', and others.

Music: Wolfgang Mozart, Shakira, Abba, Beyonce, Elvis Presley, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Yanni Voices, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Global Deejays, and many others.

Books: the Bible, 'Daphnis and Chloe' by Long, 'Dombey & Son' by Charles Dickens, and many others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

For 1.5 years I was a missionary with my Russian Orthodox Church, and I got to live for two weeks in a convent and give sermons and concerts in a prison, hospitals, a mental asylum, a nursery home, an orphanage, a military unit, and other places. That time is unforgettable!))

教，学，和分享

I could teach you a rare and lovely needlepoint handicraft.
I could train you to swim on your back with your feet in front of you – not all athletes can do it)))
Or how to rotate hoola-hoop jumping and turning at the same time.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Good mood, food, drinks, and almost everything else!
