My name is Helena and I`m an industrial engeneering student from Madrid, and I´m willing to travel around the world in a different way as the common. I don´t like hotels and restaurants, I prefer to discover new cities with only a backpack and a guitar. I think that the best part of travelling is to live, for only a cup of days, between costoms and people so much different from what we are used to.
I love to discuss about everything that can teach me different points of view. So I like to meet people that disagree with my opinions because talking with them is the best way to learn new ideas and strengthen ours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the ideology of sharing your home, culture, knowledge, with unknown people from around the world. How better are you going to learn more about a place than from a person that lives there?

Interests

I love open air sports and animals. I play volleyball and I love running . I´m really into hiking the weekends. I also like dancing and music. I play piano, guitar and ukelele (as better as I can), so If you also play any instrument may be we could inprovise some songs!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very open minded with music but I prefer rock, classical music and electronics.
If I have to choose a music group, Queen, obviously, but in the top are also Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and My Chemical Romance.
The best movies: The return of the King, Braveheart, American History X, Contact. I love detective novels and fantasy books, but also I like reading documents about new science discoveries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew an ultralight plane (this like the most exciting adventure), but in the top of the list is also living in Athens for a month working in some ong's with refugees, where I met a lot of amazing people and I learned about humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn as much languages as I can in my life, so, we can share ours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation about physics or music.
I can cook a tasty Spanish omelette.
A spanish friend that can be a great tourist guide if you want to visit Madrid ;)
