Hello! I am Niq.

I love to travel—to learn, to broaden my horizons, to connect with people, to understand cultures, to live adventures, to experience nature, and to see the world in its beauty and diversity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have more interactions with locals as I travel, to have a deeper understanding of their culture and ways of life.
