Hi I'm Helena from the UK. I have a degree in Economics and have been working at Microsoft in Advertising for 3 years whilst I have a definite sense of adventure! Therefore I've recently left my job and am just about to start travelling North, Cental and South America with my boyfriend Sam :)

After 6 months or so of travelling we are looking to settle somewhere to work for a year or so, probably Sydney!

I love sport and keeping fit...hula hooping/juggling/hiking/scuba...just about anything. Trying new things and exploring new places is my passion, I am definitely curious to broaden my horizons and learn more about people and the world.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've heard so many good couch surfing reviews from friends and it sounds right up my street. I'm also really excited to have more authentic experiences whilst travelling and get to know new people who actually live there rather than just fellow back packers. I'm very interested in other people and hearing their life stories and passions. I absolutely believe that we can learn something from every new person we meet and believe in continual self improvement - we can do this through the help of each other and spending time with new and different sorts of people.

Couch surfing brings people together...I love meeting new people, helping people and learning about different cultures and ways of life. I like to think of myself as very flexible and happy to do things a different way and trying things out of my comfort zone.

Интересы

We both love sport....Sam loved watching and playing but im more into playing (netball, running, juggling, hula hooping....pretty much anything active!)

Travel and exploring new places is an obvious one and I hope it helps us to becom extremely open minded, worldly and practical people through our journey and the array of people we will meet.

food and cooking is another big passion, along with a bottle of wine of course, but not do much the big party scenes...I prefer more laid back evenings...eating, chatting, walking and live music is my ideal night out!

Weare both pretty laid back, love new experiences and fun loving people. More than happy to cook (we are both pretty good and hands on) and also to get involved in any household chores in return for the kind gesture of letting us stay in your home!

A good sense of humour and fun! I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I'm very open minded and curious about the world so open to pretty much anything!
