I moved to China several months ago because I found a job here and I work as an English teacher. I live with my boyfriend, we moved here together. We would be glad to welcome anyone here in Pizhou!

I'm a person that is interested in many spheres because you never know what will be tomorrow and any skills can be useful.
I have already tried myself in many professions: from teaching English to managing a chain of coffeeshops. More than anything I want to do what I really like.
I'm interested in filmmaking and would like to be a film director one day :)
I love animals! I have already a cat and I wish I could have a dog soon! :)

I made this accout in 2014 but I have never used it really before this moment.
Now I'm planning to travel a lot and I'm ready to host people as well that's why I'm refreshing my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to make friends and connections from all over the world! :)

I do believe that the best way to know the other culture and the other mentality is to meet the local people.
I'm going to travel a lot in the near future and I would be really happy to have a chance to meet people who would be able to have me as a guest and moreover, I'm ready to share my home with somebody who wants to know the Russian culture from the real Russian as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's really difficult to choose several ones out of dozens that I really love.
But if I have to, I would say classic Russian literature is my favorite. I like several foreign writers as wellm such asTeodor Drayzer for example.
What about music, I can't say that I prefer only one type, I can fall in love with any melody and it doesn't matter if it's jazz, rap or pop music. :)

The film that I definitely love more that others is Leon. This story is really the best.
I suppose that I have already watched it more than 15 times and I will never fed up with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a chance to work in India as an English Teacher.
It was a life-changing experience because I think that when I came back I was a completely different person comparing to the one I had been before.
I spent there around six months. I can say honestly that it was not easy for me.
Of course, I felt homesick from time to time and moreover, I had never travelled before that experience. Usually when people travel for the first time they go somewhere not so far from the place they are currently living in.
But I wanted to be out of comfort, to understand who I am and what I can, to see how people live on the other side of the planet.
Now, when I think about this whole experience I'm feeling totally thankful for it, because it definitely changed me mentally, phycologically, intellectually.
I will always remember all the stories that I faced there, all the children that I met (we still communicate with most of them), all the lessons that this experience taught me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Russian or English if you need some practice :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

For all the people who are realy to host me, I always have some souvenirs from my country!

I'm a great fan of photography! It would be my pleasure to make some photos of you it you want me to :) You can see some of my photos here: www.instagram.com/lenamoskaleva

Moreover, I'm interested in cooking, I'm not a professional, but I can share some of the national receipts if you are interested in it of just cook it for you!

I like singing as well and we could sing together some songs that we both know :)

I'm interested in programming and IT sphere in general and if you like it also, I would be glad to talk about it also!
