Hey! I'm Helen, a student from Spain/UK. I grew up in Madrid and study Drama at the University of Exeter in England. I'm currently on exchange at UT Austin, and I'm so excited to explore Texas and the rest of the States!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love traveling. There's obvious perks to using Couchsurfing, such as the accommodation being free, however the main reason why I'm here is to meet people from all over the world and from different walks of life. Growing up in a bilingual home meant that I got exposure to lots of different cultures from a very young age, and so I feel most comfortable around internationals. I love meeting new people and learning about different languages and cultures, and I think Couchsurfing is a great way to do that!

My music taste is extremely eclectic, but a snapshot of my favourite artists include: The Beatles, Bastille, Jorja Smith, Amy Winehouse, and Arctic Monkeys. Throw a bit of reggeton and Latin trap in there and I'm happy (eg Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Ozuna, C Tangana, etc)

Favourite films include: Back To The Future, Good Will Hunting, West Side Story, When Harry Met Sally, and Coco.
