Hello! My name is Nick Donelan, I am 24 years old, and I am from Florida, United States. I love to travel, meet new people, and experience new cultures. I just graduated with my Master's in business and quit my job to pursue my dream of backpacking South America. I am currently learning Spanish and am going to study in an immersion language school in Guatemala before continuing to South America. I want to do social work, volunteer, and help people in need. I look forward to meeting you and learning about your culture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet people and travel the world. I think the best way to experience a new culture is to get out of the tourist areas and see how people really live. I think the best way to do this is by experiencing a place with the people that live there. By using Couchsurfing, I hope to get a first hand look on the real culture of the places I go.

Interests

I love to travel and meet new people. I love learning about new cultures and getting out of my comfort zone. I like to dance, play basketball, exercise, and generally have fun! I love to help people. I like Game of Thrones, learning languages, and hanging out with my friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently took a trip to Guatemala with my MBA program. We helped out a women cooperative business who was in dire need. We re-organized and improved their business tremendously. It was the best thing I have ever done in my life and inspired me to give up my office job and pursue something more meaningful with my life. The appreciation that I saw on the women's faces was the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach others about my life and what I have gone through. I want to use my experiences to teach and help people improve their lives.

I want to learn about other cultures and other people. I think the more you learn about other people, the more you grow personally.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences, sense of humor, and positive attitude! I am very open minded and accepting of all people. I would love to share my own life stories and learn about yours!
