Traveler Bio

Hallo, und Willkommen! Hello, and welcome! My name is Niki. I am currently working as an assistant English teacher at a school in Ludwigshafen, Germany. I am from Steilacoom (pronounced still-eh-cum), Washington. Steilacoom is a tiny town in the Pacific Northwest (and the oldest town in the state!). I am 23 years old and I graduated last June from Oregon State University, where I studied public health and German. As a public health student, I learned how to help people live healthy lives! As a German student (you guessed it!) I studied the German language! During college, I also traveled to other countries including Slovakia (a country in central Europe) and China. Both of these experiences opened my eyes to the variety of life and culture that is in our world, and they inspired me to keep traveling! I'm excited to share this journey with you and hear about your hopes and plans for travel in the future! Let's go!
