Ricardo Nicolas L.

I'm Nicolas Lores, a 29-year-old, half Colombian half Argentinian. I focused my life on trips, work, and experiences, I lived in different countries trying to experience to the fullest and learn something new every day. In my travels, I was never alone, and I never wanted to be. I believed that every time my interest in being part of communities grew. I helped in friend's hostels, to the point where I decide to create my own place to receive guests and create incredible experiences for them. When I finished my high school studies in Bogota Colombia, I started my trip to Argentina to study a professional career there, since my father is Argentine, I believed that I could develop my life easier, but life took me on different paths than those I had planned. Before I begin my studies, I decided to travel to Chile, to visit one of my brothers who had started his project, and decided to help him during the summer. It was a nightclub on the beach. So I helped him all that summer. After a time a met someone and decided to stay and lived in Chile. So I began to study a business career and plan my life in that country. 4 years later I wanted to make a change and travel more, so I decided to leave Chile forever and travel to Europe. I lived a few months in Barcelona Spain and other months in London UK. During the time I was in Barcelona, I helped my brother with his tourism project, and in my time in London, I start to develop a clothing brand with the help of some investor friends. After a while, I decide to return to my country and do my own tourism project. I had lived in Colombia for 4 years and with the help of my mother, I built 3 cabins in the mountains where I develop lodging protects, walks, and group activities in the city. So I got I little bit of both, free time for myself and always in touch with this travel community. I have a bachelor's in international commerce and I have studied some marketing courses. I'm very enthusiastic about this one. In one of my travels to Europe, I went to Barcelona Spain in Summer to see my brother Sam and help him out with his host and tourism project. My task was simple and very enjoyable. He was renting rooms in his flats in a gothic area and also offering the guests some experience in the city, so I was the first person that they contact in the city. First of all, I picked them up in a specific place and took them to the apartment where they would stay, I showed them the place and the house rules, normally in English language because most of them were Europeans. Later, I would take them to different parts showing them the city and nightlife. As you could imagine, many times I had to do a little extra work, taking them home if they got drunk or to the medical point if they had an emergency of any kind. In general, my experiences were always positive and my life was about making a very pleasant stay for traveling customers.
