" I am in love with the road. From traveling to learning something new, the “road” literally and metaphorically gives me a soothing feeling that calms my soul. It is this constant motion that gives away the secret, that life is happening right now. "

Pretty philosophical huh?

So yeah, hi! I'm Nico. As you can clearly tell I'm in love with travelling. I love being on the road, explore different places and of course meeting new people who are open to share a tiny corner in their warm house for me and also share their wisdom, experiences and tips to make my stay as local as possible!

I DO NOT SMOKE so if you are a smoker please tell me in advance.

My passion is travelling to cities around the world and photograph all the murals and street art I can find. We can also arrange a photography exploration and hunt down some murals if your schedule allows it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are good, but to have the opportunity to stay with a local and learn about all these secret places that give the city it's unique character is an experience that even the cheapest hostel cannot beat!
