My name is Nick, I'm a 24 years old registered nurse living and working in Philadelphia, PA, USA. I would say I'm well-traveled for my age, I plan to continue traveling throughout my life, not just for the sake of seeing different places, but more for meeting others and sharing in their company and culture. When I do travel, I don't like to just stop in a city for a day or two; I like to spend my time exploring a place, getting a feel for the culture and meeting other people. I'm always ready for an adventure, always searching for more meaning in my life. I love connecting with others and learning from them through their own cultures, perspectives, and experiences.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I had an intimate meeting with Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak during my time in India- he was named one of the top 50 world personalities in “Global Diversity List” by The Economist, listed alongside former U.S. President Obama. I snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Cairns, QLD, Australia. I ran my first marathon (November, 2015).
