CURRENT MISSION To LIVE life and experience all it has to offer. ABOUT ME My name is Nicola. I like to snowboard, cross-country ski, mountain bike, read, travel, take photos, laugh, lounge, explore, play ukulele/guitar, drink red wine... oh the list could go on! I'm so very interested in other languages, people, culture, ideas... talk to me. I am living in the amazing and beautiful town of Nelson, BC. My roommate and I are studying at Selkirk College and are on our summer break at the moment. I'm working at a restaurant/pub in town. On my days off I'm exploring on my mountain bike, finding new places to hike, or beaches to lounge on. PHILOSOPHY Be you. Everyone has something special to share; it's just a matter of being able to find it, and having the confidence to use it.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have heard so many people speak passionately about the CS community. I was only a listener in the beginning, not having surfed before, but now I am able to speak with as much passion thanks to the wonderful experiences and opportunities I've had. I haven't had many opportunities to host, so here I am again! New place in Nelson, new awesome roommate, and a decent futon for you to sleep on. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Each CS experience so far has been fantastic. There have been times where I look around, feeling so content, taking everything in, and think, "I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for CS."

Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
AH! Lived in the Philippines for a year... that was eye-opening and absolutely amazing. I was so lucky to see so many beautiful things in that country. I lived in the Netherlands for almost a year too. I played on a women's soccer team, worked in a pub, landscaped, then travelled some of Europe. Hiked Mt. Kinabalu in Malaysia-Borneo.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I would love to learn how to surf well one day! I want to play guitar well too... I found a ukulele while traveling in Indonesia and have learned some things on there. Love playing both of them... still need lots of practice though! I can teach you how to snowboard, pass a soccer ball, speak some Tagalog... juggle... you can just ask me... I may know more. Ha.
O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
Devon and I have only been living in Nelson since September 2014, so we are still learning new things and meeting new people. I hope we can share with you what we know or help out with some Kootenay knowledge!
