I am a university student in my last semester of study at Sydney University. I am currently on university exchange in Los Angeles, CA.

I love to travel, and at the end of my degree in June hope to spend six months in Europe before getting a graduate job.

I love learning and talking about all things related to health and fitness. I also practice yoga and share photos as well as healthy recipes on my Instagram account "nicolacarrollhealth".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and I think the best way to explore a place is to stay with a local rather than in a hotel.

I would also be open to hosting those who I have stayed with if they end up in Sydney.

Interests

Cooking, exercise, yoga, health, anything outdoors such as going to the beach, surfing/ body boarding, hiking, skiing.

I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I've sky-dived in New Zealand, jumped off The Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, Zip Lined in Bootleg Canyon and I LOVE roller coasters. Next activity on my box list is to Bungee Jump, or hang glide - I can't decide. I also want to learn to water-ski and wake board, ahh so much to do!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to be a professional gymnast, so looking back now, I am amazed at the skills I used to be able to do. If I tried to do a back-flip now I am pretty sure I would land on my head! I would love to take up adult-gymnastics though, or even acro-yoga!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking and love making healthy meals for people. I am very easy-going, down-to-earth and relaxed.

I am neat and tidy, and don't mind helping out with housework or chores.

I love to laugh and make people laugh. I'm always up for going out to interesting places and to do fun things. If you want someone to listen to some live music with, go to a comedy show, ride a roller coaster with, or even just a walk around town, i'm there.
