My name's Nicole and I've been on a mission to see the world since 2014!

I grew up in Scotland and lived and worked in Edinburgh before I got bored with corporate life and wanted to see more of the world than the destinations that Ryanair fly to! I decided to take a risk, pack my bags and teach in South Korea. I've now been here for almost 3 years and am about to head on an indefinite backpacking trip around Europe and Latin America.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

When I travel, I love conversing with locals and learning about new cultures. I believe that Couchsurfing gives travellers a much deeper opportunity to immerse themselves into the countries culture than hostels and hotels. I love sharing bits of my own Scottish culture too and am happy to teach you lots of Glaswegian slang and might even show you how to make a deep fried Mars Bar!

Intereses

I love yoga, reading, watching foreign movies, cooking, writing, learning languages, running, hiking, kayaking, cycling and almost anything that involves being outdoors!

Música, películas y libros

I have quite a varied taste in music. On the one hand, I love minimal techno and deep house. But, I also like more chilled stuff and a lot of old Indie music. Some of my favourite artists at the moment are James Blake, Bob Moses and Connan Mockasin.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Ran the Edinburgh Half Marathon in 2013

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am an experienced and certified teacher of both yoga and English. I'm more than happy to give yoga classes to other couch surfers and to help anyone out with their English!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love to cook and would love to share some of the dishes that I've learned to cook from around the world.
