Hey! My name is Helena and I am studying fashion design.
I am very passionate in everything I do, a free spirit, and I am always open to try new things, go to New places without having to over think things through. I just pretty much do it. As you can see, a bit impulsive as well but I like to say I'm rather spontaneous! Haha...
I love to meet up with people, And have a glimpse of what life is through another person's eyes. I've met a lot of great guys and girls from around the world and it inspires me to travel as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to connect with people. I feel sometimes we are too afraid to go out there to what is unfamiliar to us, and that is a shame. Yes, the world is a dangerous place, but there are people in it, a lot of people that are like pearls in Sea.
I want to learn from others and also share whatever life has taught me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved at the age of 19 to the Faroe Islands, where my life turned around 360 degress. Also got my education as a dressmaker here and all in the native language. I feel very proud of myself!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think my favourite kind of books are biographies. This is extremely connected to the fact that I like to learn from people's experiences. I also feel like I have something to share, even if it is a word of kindness and a cup of tea.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, as much as it is possible for both of us. Maybe some experimental cooking skills... Hahaha
Some Spanish, plenty of stories and fun.
