Description

Dzien Dobry, Hello, Salamalaikum, Dobry Dan, Buongiorno, Guten Tag, Merhaba, Bonjour!

my name is Nick, I am 34 years old, and I am a very curious person. That explains why I love travelling: To encounter people, their customs, beliefs and philosopies and the various landscapes people are living. I am still "young" but I never want to stop learning until the end.
I am happy when I encounter kindness, hospitality, mutual support and understanding. To make someone else smile and happy brings a smile on my face. If everyone would do that everyday, the world would be a different one.
