Hi! :-) My name's Nicole and I am a happy traveller who is here to experience a cultural exchange, I like gaining the local experience! I love cats, live concerts, travelling and food! I have a close background with Asia as I've spent a chunk of my life in Shanghai and I am currently living in Singapore.

Oh yeah and I have 2 cats named Lola and Pablo :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have eaten a frog- tastes like chicken and is normal to eat almost anything in China! Climbed the Great Wall of China. I've walked on a frozen lake and fallen into the ice cold water- apparently the ice wasn't hard enough.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spent a chunk of my life in Shanghai so I can teach you some Chinese. (as well as English & Swedish) I have an immense interest in psychology and how people behave according to culture, background and all that good stuff!
