Hi I'm Helena! I'm a recent graduate travelling around NZ for 6 months whilst trying to make up my mind what to do next. I'm vegan, fun, outgoing and more than a little bit nerdy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing after I realised that what I love about travelling isn't just seeing new amazing places but getting to meet new people from all around the world with whom I would otherwise have never crossed paths. I love seeing new places through locals' eyes.

I've couchsurfed more than it looks from my profile but have done it with a friend, so she got the references. I promise I'm very nice though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A roadtrip around the USA during which I went to six different National Parks, the highlight being climbing Angel's Landing in Zion.

Also flying to the other side of the world on my own, buying a van and driving around NZ, of course!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can attempt to explain that bizarre strand of British culture; our humour. Failing that, I'm vegan so can try and share some of the things I cook with you! I'm always up for a discussion and love hearing new ways of thinking and sharing the way I think. Finally, I recently learned the most addictive game involving dice which I will be more than happy to teach you.
