Hi! I’m Nikki! I’m a 25 year old traveler with a goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents! I love to meet new people, try new things, and enjoy the journey along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new connections and meet new friends! I love to meet new people and learn what makes them the way they are.

Interests

I have a cat named Boo, a 5 year old little girl who’s super fluffy, and sometimes mean to everyone around her (but she’s cute enough to move past that).

I’ve been teaching myself Norwegian the last 2 years in my free time. I’m not fluent yet, but I can teach you some phrases I’ve learned!

• photography
• traveling
• music
• backpacking
• history
• food
• museums
• food lover

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love any kind of live music, but especially indie rock and pop! Gregory Alan Isakov, Hozier, Noah Kahn, Hippo Campus, and Arctic Monkeys are some of my top!

Movies: Stuck in Love is my absolute fav! Also love Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and recently watched Sinners and loved it!

Books:
The Alchemist, 5 people you meet in heaven, and Diary of an Oxygen Thief are my all time favs- hard to pick one and they’re all so amazing. Give me recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked mountains at sunrise, going a trek through the Sumatran jungle, lived with monks in Sri Lanka, learned to surf in Fiji during a cyclone. I’ll never say no to a challenge that borders on scary, but good for the lore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and teach history! I was even a teacher in Thailand as a social studies and English teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make the best pasta dish around as well as have really good music taste (if I do say so myself).

I also love to talk about anything and everything! Tell me about your experiences and I’ll share mine!
