Hello!
My name is Valeriia, but friends call me Lera. I'm 19 years old. I'm studying sinology (Mandarin Chinese + some cultural and historical stuff about China). I'd describe myself as a friendly, sincere and open-minded person. I adore painting and I also can paint. I like learning new languages, because I think that it's the best way to explore our beautiful world🌍❤

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love travelling, meeting new interesting people and discovering new countries.
In my opinion, the most effective way to learn new cultures and traditions is to explore them from the inside out, directly communicating with the locals.

教，学，和分享

I'm not a good teacher, but if you want to, I can teach you the languages I speak, share some of my painting skills and even discuss Chinese culture. I really love the world we live in, so I'm always up to absorb new information about it and get new interesting life experience.
