ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Helen!

I'm rather small,
I love music,
Furry animals make me sneeze,
I love pasta,
I want to go ice-skating in New York (or...Leeds?),
I want to live at the seaside,
I like to wander to nowhere in particular on my own,
I want a white Christmas,
I love thunderstorms when I'm inside,
I play 3 instruments (but not at the same time),
I want a piano,
I need more sleep,
I like parrots,
I eat too much crisps,
I always seem to have a cold,
Freaky things happen to me when I eat peanuts (and aspirin apparently),
Paul McCartney is cool and you know it,
I want to live in a castle
and
I wish I was a mermaid (though I'd settle for a fairy).

PHILOSOPHY

Sleep for the Win

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had two couchsurfing experiences - both in Poland. I met some great people and saw both Warsaw and Bialystok in ways I couldn't have done if I'd have been staying in a hotel or hostel. Both couchsurfs were fantastic experiences.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Touring Vienna with the Hull Youth Orchestra in 2008 was fantastic. It was only for a week but it was a briliant experience. Playing in the gardens of The Schoenbrunn Palace is something I'll never forget, and the reception we received was amazing. Me and my violin will never go on a better adventure!
