Hello :)

My name is Nicole and what can I say I have wanderlust! The travel bug has got me! Ever since a young age I have been craving to see more of the world. Now that I have saved enough money for year I have decided to embark on a year RTW trip to try and see the world for myself I have finally got the guts to save save save and travel the world leaving the typical 9-5 job. I expect to have my mind blow with all the things I will see and be overjoyed from all the people I have met! I plan on doing 6 months in Asia and 6 months in Europe! wish me luck xoxo!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have joined couchsurfing because I have friends who have done it and call only say amazing things about their experience. I cannot wait to meet hosts that will bring the culture to life and help me experience the country through their tips!

Interests

Well let me begin I love trying new things one great thing about my rtw trip is the ability to try new foods. I am a very open person willing to try anything once because life is to short! I am a coffee addict..... my daily 2 cups are needed so if you have a soft spot for caffeine we will enjoy the little cafes! I enjoy being being busy, I love walking around taking in everything around me I cannot sit still! At the same time my evenings consist of snacks and movies so I can find a good balance. I love photography and anything to do with the ocean. I love being fit and active and ensuring my body gets the fitness it needs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music and movies and books.... Thats a hard one for me I really have an open mind to most music when you look at my ipod playlist it goes from pop hits to reggae to rap to country and even a few disney songs.... I just like anything with a good beat. Movies are the same thing theres a time and place for all (even though I am a secret disney lover). As for books one of my favorites would have to a fine balance by rohinton mistery!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe the amazing thing is to come! I have decided to leave my 9-5 job at a Canadian bank and embark on a adventure! I have also been in a few musicals, ran a charity race, lost over 80lbs! and recently became an aunt!

Teach, Learn, Share

"beware of destination addiction... a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job and with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are."
