Hey! I'm Nick, a Biochemistry student that's currently living in Oxford for University, but I spend most of my vacation time travelling around Europe or staying with friends in London, Amsterdam, and Germany. I love languages, all things outdoors, cross country, and cooking so will be happy to share any vegetarian recipes with people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people whilst I'm moving around the continent between term times!

As I'm in my final year of university, I'm exploring the idea of emigrating and have got a job in Belgium, so looking to meet other people with international experience to learn and converse with :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ended up accidentally volunteering at the Golden Temple in Amritsar? I don’t know how it happened either but was a fun yet really chaotic experience (my apologies to the guy whose water I accidentally dropped Dahl into)
