你好！ 我叫Victoria. 我住在日本。 我是语言老师，教俄语，德语和英语。 我会说俄语，德语，英语和日语。 Hello! My name is Victoria. I am Russian and I have been living in Japan for 12 years. I am a teacher. I teach English, Russian and German languages. I am interested in Chinese culture, history and language. I am a beginner in Chinese though. When I was 8 or 10 years old I saw a Chinese movie with Jet Lee and since then I fell in love with the actor and the culture. I mastered Chinese history at school and dreamed to move to China but, unfortunately my dream didn't come true. Last year I wanted to go to study Chinese language in Hangzhou but unfortunately, I got sick and had to go back to Japan where I was diagnosed with a Still's disease.❤️🩹 For more than half a year I was fighting for my life and now I am feeling better and that is why I came to China again. Thanks to my friend, whom I met here on Couchsurfing, I can stay for a long time and experience local life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I used Couchsurfing many many years ago and it was a very bad experience so I quit. A friend of mine recommended me this website just recently and I decided to create an account again. I think my main purpose of using this website is not only hosting and meeting various people, but also, if possible, making good friends. I love Chinese history and culture but I never had a chance to visit the country, even though I live close enough. But after visiting Korea this September I decided that I really want to make my childhood's dream come true and in winter I am going to visit Shanghai and celebrate New year there. I am learning Chinese now, so if it is a place, where I could also find help in practicing, that would be amazing! I started hosting people and am receiving a lot of requests, so there are some ground rules of staying at my place: ✓ No noise; ✓ No smoking; ✓ No drinking; ✓ Keep a flat clean as possible; since I moved to a new please, damaging, scratching or anything is prohibited otherwise you will be charged for repairing. I am allergic to dust. ✓ I work 7 days a week and have no time to show you around. I will give you a spare key to my flat. If you lose it, you will be charged for it; ✓Since I mainly host girls, there are ground rules for men: sleeping in pyjamas; walking around only in underwear is strictly prohibited.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like to listen to rock and my favorite band is Nightwish. I am a big fan of Friends and the Big Bang Theory.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
This year I travelled alone (without any friends) to Busan. That was an amazing experience for me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help you out around Japan, especially around Kansai region.
What I Can Share With Hosts
✓ If you are interested in exploring Japan and willing to try to live here for a while (like a month), I can take you as a short stay roommate. It can help you a little to see Japan from the inside. Just let me know and I will be glad to share the details ✨🤗 ✓ I can share my experience and help you out, if you need or have any questions about transportation etc.
