Description
Nico, full-time backpacker from Italy.
I grew up following the "university + career + stability" path, but felt something was missing. I craved more freedom to discover who I am.
Started exploring myself through meditation and travelled solo with one-way tickets across Canada, South-East Asia, and Oceania. Lived in 10 countries for more than three years, and had 10+ different jobs.
Looking for a travel partner to explore, work, and build a present, real relationship. I value making people feel safe and cared for, paying attention to the details. I'm a highly sensitive person (HSP): I can offer deep emotional connection, but don't hide my vulnerabilities.
Currently in New Zealand, planning to return to Italy around August 2026.
