I'm looking to live the most fun, the most exciting version of life.
Be free, experiment and embrace the wisdom in ignorance.

I'm Nico! Just an average human, travelling, volunteering, honing my ideas and stepping out of my comfort zone. In 2023 I started working as a hiking and biking guide for an active travel company and it's been nothing short of amazing!

I have an insatiable curiosity and I love learning. My interests are eclectic and esoteric: cosmology, solidarity economy, food sovereignty, whole body mental health, meditation, psychology, wildlife, the natural and supernatural.

I enjoy paradigm shifts, non linear thinking and neurodivergence. However, I am also a big fan of not taking anything seriously, laughing hysterically and dancing spontaneously. It depends on the day. However, something that does not depend on the day, is my love of all things bread related.

I spend my free time reading, cooking and baking as well as hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, surfing. My happy place is when I'm moving, ideally outside enjoying nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To check my privilege, step out of my comfort zone and listen to your truths and opinions on different topics.
Meet people, funny people, weird people, all kinds of people.
Whatever you are into, I wanna see, hear and learn.
The weirder, the better!

Movies
I enjoy works that forgo a traditional narrative structure or a clear plot and focus more on the overall mood and character development. Genres like neo noir, arthouse, dark comedy, sci-fi.

Music
Give this a listen, and if you dig it, you dig it.
It's eclectic, was inspired by a good friend, and another type of travel.
