About Me

My other references are in this profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2000610693

This is who I travelled with during my CS experience.

Hey! I'm Helen and I'm half Mexican half Brit. I'm adventurous and like extreme sports.
I'm a person who loves to experience new things, and am always up for a challenge.
Always want to get the best out of everything.
Many people say I'm not a normal girl, I mostly hang out with guys and share the same interests.
I don't get along with people who always find excuses for everything and who don't look for solutions.
I'm a video game geek and I like to go out but I also enjoy staying at home reading, watching movies, listening to music and playing board games. I enjoy just staring at the sky.
I'm afraid of white sharks.
I love riding, and outdoor activities.
I'm addicted to chocolate and my favourite food is Italian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really don't think hostels are the best way to travel, it could be ok, I guess, cause yo meet tourists from all over the world, but the point of travelling is getting to know the people from the places you visit. Their way of life, their language, what they normally eat, where they normally go, their favourite wine or beer, etc.
I think the best way to do this is CS.

Interests

I love travelling, I still have a lot to see in my beautiful country Mexico.
I love animals, play the drums. I'm a video game lover, love to read mystery, thriller and suspense novels, a Tolkien fan, Game of thrones books/series fan, I honestly don't understand modern art. I always look for something new to learn, I think we all have something to teach and something to learn from everyone.
Looking to find friends from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with English or Spanish, I'm learning German. I would love it if you could teach me your language.

I love to listen to people's stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, my respect, my help with anything I can, my friendship, same thing they offer I like to give in return, a nice chat, I will take something from my country to my hosts. I could try to cook but I'm not a very good cook :P but I'm happy to learn and give it a go.
I'll return the favour whenever they come to Mexico.
