Hi! My name is Nick (if you haven't already seen that big bold name up along the top :P)

I currently work on the Gold Coast as a software trainer for a.. wait for it... software company! It's in the Strata Industry (which will probably mean nothing to a lot of you) - I basically teach people how to use software for a very specific industry.

I'm also in the process of completing my certification in fitness which will eventually allow me to get a job/ start my own personal training business.

In between study and work I like to keep fit, cook and eat and go on adventures.. though not as many adventures as I'd like to... I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

My background is Indonesian, but I grew up in New Zealand and now living in Australia. I have been quite fortunate to have experienced/lived through three different cultures.

I'm an open person, and most people think I'm nice.. so it must be true :) I'm pretty laid back, easy to talk to and always keen on meeting new people.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I plan to travel in the near future and I feel this is a good way to meet people from different parts of the world, to network and make connections. Learn about different cultures, and places from the people who have experienced them.

Centres d'intérêt

Most of my interest revolves around food or fitness (minus sports... never really did sports).. I love to cook and love eating even more!

Hiking, bush walks and general nature stuff.... living on the Gold Coast definitely has it's perks.. we have beaches close by on one side and forests on the other.

I'm a bit of an amateur photographer... I like taking photos of scenery, beaches oh and food. Love taking photos of food.

I've also been known to enjoy theme parks every now and then, and we have a few around. I have other interests too which I can list, such as:

Swimming, Walking, Running, Bushwalking, Yoga, Web design, Blogging, Travelling, Movies, Making Cocktails, Cooking, Photography, Making Lists, Goal Setting, Lifting Weights, Cats... well kittens and by extension puppies.. the list goes on. And I'd enjoy making them!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Hmmm.. my taste in music is generally top 40 stuff though I do enjoy an occasional indie.. I can't say I actively go out and search for good music but I'm always open to be introduced to some.. I can absolutely say without a doubt that I don't like metal, death or heavy.

Books are generally non-fiction and with movies, it depends on the film. If it's engaging I'll watch it.. I pick my movies based on peoples review on average. But generally I like sci-fi, comic book movies, fantasy, comedies and the occasional thriller/drama.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I have done many amazing things in my life to get me where I am today.. but nothing grandiose. That's still in the making.... watch this space!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love to cook.. if you haven't already guess. I can teach you how to make the best protein bar ever! And if you have an espresso machine, Kahlua and vodka an espresso martini... I would also assume you have ice, or we could just have warm coffee with Kahlua, it's completely up to you.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I'm domesticated if that helps?.. I clean up after myself. I'll cook you dinner or a few dinners. Heck, I'll even do your laundry.. (I don't clean toilets or bathrooms though)
