Hello I'm Helen, and I enjoy learning about people, different cultures, history of foods and like most people love to travel.

I love visiting new countries, cities and learning about the language, culture, history and trying all the foods.

I enjoy travelling with my boyfriend and sometimes solo.

I like to snowboard. It's always a very peaceful, happy feeling for me.

My background is half Chinese and Vietnamese. I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia for most of my life and have lived in London, UK, Vancouver, Canada and now just trotting about in the Balkans.

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.
