About Me

I'm Nico, a curious guy with an interest for Photography, Sports (Yoga, Tennis, Soccer) and nerd stuff (video games and coding).

I've been once pretty active on Couchsurfing but unfortunately things have been more challenging with settling down. I now work in Paris as a Product Manager.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My couchsurfing experience is made both of hosting and surfing. Thanks to Couchsurfing, I've had a bunch of very cool surfing and hosting experience: big house full of awesome roommates in La casita cool in Mexico, really nice 45-year-old Claudio in Lima (Peru), funny cabaret dancer in Auckland (NZ), sweet couple in Rio (Brazil), crazy roomates in Taipei, interesting entrepreneur in Kazahn (Russia)...

I also hosted very interesting people like Verena and Viki (thanks again for the salami!), beer drinkers Franzi and her friends, traveler Elisa, and more.

Interests

I like to be very active.

As you might guess as I'm on couchsurfing, I enjoy travelling, meeting people from anywhere and discovering new cultures. I want my life to be a big trip.

I like a lot cinema, my favorite directors are Kubrick, Scorsese and Hitchcock.

Photography is more than a hobby for me, you can have a look at my gallery if you care: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57592133@N07/

Finally, I really like BEER (better when shared). I like to discover new beers and I've already tasted hundreds of them from all around the world.
