Hi! My name is Nicolás. I’m a 26 years old artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’ll be traveling to Europe for an art residency and then doing some free time. It’s my second time on the continent and the first one going for a long period of time by my own so I’m looking to meet new people, make friends and get to know the cities I’ll be visiting though the eyes of the residents! You can get to know my work in my instagram account, @nicoseid

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m not such a fan of the typical museum-parks-gastronomic tours. Even though there are some quintessential places I’ll be visiting, I’m also interested in getting to know the underground, the hidden places, the easter eggs of the cities. I find Couchsurfing a more charming, much more warm way to get to know them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Although I work in fine arts, I tend to be moved mainly by films. I have an inclination for Hollywoods golden era and classic horror films but I also enjoy more classical and contemporary directors, such as Guy Maddin, David Lynch, Hitchcock, Bergman, Herzog, Haneke, among others. Regarding music, my taste isn’t very determined. I go from Björk to Sonic Youth and then to bossanova in a second. From Laurie Anderson to Kate Bush ending in argentinian rock. I love new wave, noise, pop and I also enjoy academic music. And since I mentioned pop, I cannot avoid to say that I’m a Madonna enthusiast.
