Before continuing onto further educational endeavors in The States in August of 2019, I decided to go and see the world. I prefer to stay with locals or expats when I'm traveling, as this is the best way to really experience a foreign culture. I have previously taught in the townships of South Africa where I also stayed with a host family, and the pleasantness of this experience led me to pursue teaching in different parts of the world. For the past six months, I have lived in Boutou, China where I have taught toddlers and university students alike. I wouldn't mind finding more teaching or language-practice opportunities along my journey, but in general, I am just looking for fellow adventurers along the road.
I have a passion for literature and half of my suitcase will usually consist of a wannabe-library. When I don't have my nose stuck in a book, I enjoy chatting with people of different cultural backgrounds: it's always a wonderful way of learning new things and exploring new settings.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people - especially locals - wherever I go, and by using Couchsurfing, I figured that I would get to make more friends along the journey than by staying in hotels.

Музыка, кино и книги

My favourite book of all time is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but I also enjoy reading anything from Hemingway, Dickens, Dostoevsky, and many more. I love the classic works of literature, but of more recent titles, I absolutely adore Amor Towles' A Gentleman in Moscow.

When it comes to movies, I am also prone to like the classics: The Godfather, Citizen Kane, or any James Bond movie. The 90s gave us a lot of my favourite titles: Fight Club, Good Will Hunting, and I should probably mention that I am embarrassingly fond of Titanic.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Moved to China to become an English teacher (one of my best decisions so far)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Sharing a cup of coffee with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights.

I can always help practicing English, or perhaps teach you a bit of Danish, if that should be of interest.

I like learning about new cultures and assistance in getting a better grasp of the local language is always welcome when I'm traveling.

I love sharing stories and experiences from traveling with the people I meet.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can share funny stories, longlasting discussions about anything from Russian literature to contemporary politics, or perhaps just a cold beer.
