Hi, I’m Helme!

I’m a curious traveler and small business owner based in Oregon. I spend a lot of my time working with cars and exploring the Pacific Northwest, but what I really love is connecting with new people and sharing stories.

I enjoy good conversations over coffee, discovering hidden local spots, and learning about different cultures. Friends describe me as respectful, easygoing, and reliable — I like to keep things simple and make sure people around me feel comfortable.

When I travel, I’m usually looking to experience a place through the eyes of locals rather than just tourist attractions. When I host, I like to make sure my guests feel welcome, safe, and at home.

A few fun facts about me:

I speak both English and Spanish.

I’m into music, food adventures, and long road trips.

I believe in kindness, respect, and leaving every place (and friendship) better than I found it.

Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers and sharing experiences! 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I value human connection. I enjoy meeting people from different walks of life, sharing meals, ideas, and laughs. For me, traveling is about creating friendships and memories that last longer than the trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

With hosts I can share respect, good company, and positive energy. I love telling travel stories, exchanging music, and practicing languages. If there’s a kitchen, I can cook a meal or help with dishes. I’m also happy to share car tips, road trip hacks, or just a good conversation over coffee. Above all, I’ll always leave your place as I found it (or better)
