About Me

你好!
我叫Victoria. 我住在日本。
6月我要去杭州学习中文。🥹
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 10 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.

I'm going through a loss of my beloved Luna, so I may not be the perfect company for you right now. 💔

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; since I moved to a new please, damaging, scratching or anything is prohibited otherwise you will be charged for repairing.
✓ I work 7 days a week, so 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.

✨ Thanks to an amazing experience I had in China, I am going to study in a language school in Hangzhou. My dream is finally coming true! My school starts on June 3rd, but I'm flying on May 28th. I will stay one month and probably I will extend my stay to two months. So I am looking for someone who would like to stay in Japan as a local and live in my place while I am gone. If you are interested in becoming this person, let me know! ✨🥹

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

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.
