About me:

My name is Nicolina (Nico), im a 24-year-old girl from Finland, living a life of "working hard, playing harder", aka im a traveller. Ever since 2012 i have visited countries all around the globe, both as working holidays and just holidays. Now my focus is on Canada, where my boyfriend lives, struggling my way through the byrocracy of immigration.

I'm a very down to earth kinda person, love spending time outside, doing outdoorsie stuff. I'm a healthnerd, yogi and coffeelover, love the summer, beach, festivals and tropical weather, but know how to have fun in the blistering cold winter aswell.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch pretty much any kind of movie and listen to all kinds of music depening on where i am, who i am with, what mood im in etc... I really like fantasy, thriller and action movies but sometimes also comedy or drama. When it comes to music i love hardstyle, trance and house, but i also listen to country, rock, heavymetal and everything in between.

The best books i've read are Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, Stravaganza by Mary Hoffman, The Host by Stephenie Meyer, Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver, A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Brey and Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
