Hi, I'm Nicky. I'm 31 years old, originally from the UK but living in Australia for the past 10 years. I'm currently living in South Golden Beach close to Byron Bay. I'm an artist specialising in painting, design and photography/film. I have recently been working in remote aboriginal communities with a non for profit charity called Desert Pea Media.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of staying with local people in their own environment really interests me.
Sharing knowledge and skills.
Being able to give back to fellow travellers when I'm back in Australia. Mi casa es su casa 😊
