I am Nico - I recently graduated from an apparel design program in Seattle, and I will be taking a month to travel Europe before I relocate to New York City. I also have a Bachelor's in Studio Art. I have worked in the food industry for the last ten years or so. These three things - fashion, art, and food, will be directing much of what I want to experience on my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to set off on my first European trip and will be traveling for a month. Couchsurfing comes highly recommended from friends, especially because I want to be able to move around freely between cities and countries. I'm also really interested in meeting locals to heighten the cultural experiences of the many places I will be visiting.
