Right now living in New Zealand 🇳🇿

In 2016 I created my Couchsurfing account and have a review there. You can just type Tess Nikolas and look at my previous page. I lost access to that profile, that’s why I’m setting up this one.

Acting, writing, modeling are three main fields I’m
working in. Psychology will possibly be the fourth and I’m studying it now. And sometimes I work as a translator or coordinator, like during Sardar Udham movie shooting. Also my experience includes volunteering, I helped Rahul Mishra team during Paris Fashion Week in 2019.

COVID-19 information. I am fully vaccinated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This platform is full of opportunities for meeting new people from all over the world, exchanging stories, experiences, exploring other cultures, getting different perspectives. That’s why I’m here. I found out that simple thing, it’s so much more exciting to travel somewhere and have an opportunity to emerge in a multicultural adventure.
