Hey there I'm Nick, 25 from England, I've recently quit my job and sold (most) my belongings with the plan to go cycling for as long as I can, unfortunately an old knee injury has come back with a vengeance and put a stop to that plan, so I've bought a one way ticket to Brazil and am now backpacking around South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and hang out with others on the way!
I'm really interested in trekking in the Andes so if anyone local wants to come with on some treks or give me some suggestions that'd be awesome

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I only really read non-fiction books, I'm a sucker for travel books and autobiographies. Alastair Humphreys' books about cycling around the world are favourites and Ranulph Fiennes autobiography is awesome so far.

Music I like:
Chilled out electronic artists like Bonobo, Flume, Jamie XX, Yppah, Four Tet
Indie-ish stuff like Interpol, The National, Explosions in the sky, Arcade Fire, Alt J
And Hip-hop/ Rap
