Hello everybody! I'm Nicholas, a 24 year-old from Como, Italy. I can speak Italian, English, Spanish and a very basic German. I'm a graduate in Tourism, Culture and Development of Territories, which is also a mix of topics that I'm very fond of! I'm quite new to Couchsurfing, but super keen to make it a custom for my future travels. Although born and raised in a small town between Milan and Lake Como (Italy), life after my 18 brought me somewhere else many times, most notably Australia for my gap year, Spain for my Erasmus, and Vietnam for work (though it turned out to be the most interesting experience in my life!). There are many more things that I could add but I suppose it makes more sense to find them out live while having a drink (or two!). Unfortunately I can’t host in Italy right now as I’m living in Santiago de Chile for a while 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well....where to start? Because staying with friendly locals, spending time and activities with them, it's way better than staying in a hotel!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favourite kind of music.... I'll just list some of my favourite songs to give an idea.

Numb, Linkin Park. Iris, Goo Goo Dolls. Comatose, Skillet. Bones, Young Guns. Otherside, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Already Over, Red. Fireflies, Owl City. Hurricane, Thirty Seconds to Mars. I'll be Waiting, Lenny Kravitz.Lionhearted, Porter Robinson. Naive, The Cooks. Wonderwall, Oasis.

Movies....mmmm what about movies. I love horror movies but I don't find them scary anymore....I'm still looking for something to give me insomnia. So, lately I've been more into meaningful ones...(at least for me!).
