About Me

Hello! I’m Nicole.

I’m also a geek in stilettos, — love tech, startups and anything girlie. Right now, I am doing freelancing on UI/UX design while also travelling around the world.

I love animals and can dog/cat sit for anyone.

Vegetarian. Nom Nom Nom :)
I don't smoke nor drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been couchsurfing since 6 years ago, and the hospitality I have gotten is amazing!! I do it mostly when I travel alone, just to chat with the locals, or people who live in the area to understand more about the place I am visiting.

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”
- Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. - Tim Cahill

Interests

I am one of the few who can say, I love my job! User experience and interface design grew out as a hobby and became my bread and butter.

My favourite sports are aerial hoop, cycling and yoga. Currently learning how to do handstands.

Just like most girls... shopping fits into my bag of hobbies. :)
