Call me Nick or Nico!

Recently moved from USA, where I worked as a software developer for the past few years. I'm currently taking a gap year from the industry to travel and give living abroad a shot.

So far I've spent three months in Europe and three months in SE Asia. I recently returned to Europe to attend a Spanish language academy in Barcelona for a few months; afterwards your guess is as good as mine!

Some highlights so far:
- Couchsurfed for my first time in Cologne 🇩🇪
- Watched Muay Thai live in Bangkok 🇹🇭
- Motorbiked around the Vietnamese countryside 🇻🇳
- Hiked to the top of Montserrat 🇪🇸
- Operated a Ukrainian Refugee Shelter in Budapest 🇺🇦🇭🇺
- Saw Radiohead perform in Prague 🇨🇿
- Bartended for a weekend in London 🇬🇧
- ... and much more

Clean, courteous, and positive minded. Love being social. Always interested in learning and doing something new. Double vaccinated and boosted.
