ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, adventurous person and I love meeting new people. My passions in life all revolve around nature - I love backpacking/camping in the mountains, rock climbing, scuba diving, skiing, and anything outside. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, and getting to be immersed by new cultures is even greater when you get to stay with a native person. I’m currently planning a 2-3 month trip around the Middle East. I’ve had great experiences hosting and staying with people through Couchsurfing and have made many friends from the community. I hope to make new friends on my upcoming trip!
I enjoy taking photos of nature, you can find me on Instagram @sophiehellinger
