ABOUT ME

..Hey All! My name is Nichola...
I'm a 24 yr young Beauty that moved from Long Island, NY to Texas roughly six years ago.

Currently however, I live in the Beautiful city of Marburg Germany. June 2010 I packed my bags, hopped on a Standby flight to Frankfurt and moved to Marburg with no Visa, no money, and no concept of the German language. Today I can happily say I've managed to get a Visa, and pass a beginers German class. :-D Now through March I just want to Surf Europe, make new friends, and enjoy a semester of frolicing.

*"The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed." -Sebastian R. N. Chamfort*

My Ultimate long-term goal is to get a Speech Pathology Degree before I turn 50!
I’ve always wanted to teach, and within the last few years I came to realize my passion was with children with learning disabilities, mainly speech.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach, Learn, Share

"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating." ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright

I love cooking! For friends, for family, for strangers... It's a hobby and a passion. While couch surfing I would love to share recipes and helpful tips with people from all over the world!
