About
Hi there! I’m Nico and I’m from the United States. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2015 with a degree in Computer Engineering. Afterwards, I moved to Seattle to work at a large west coast tech company.
In mid-2021, I quit my well-paying software job to travel, pursue some passion projects, and live life. I talk about this in my blog. This resulted in me spending 1.5 years travelling around the US, Canada, Europe, and SE Asia.
I now live in Berlin, continuing to travel any chance I get.
The name of this website comes from my first name and my interest in photography (Nico + picture = NICO • PICO).
What I like…
- Travel
- Fitness
- Gaming
- Boba 🧋
- Photography (see Nick Pics)
- Making friends
- Techno, trance, progressive house, and 90s + early 2000s drum & bass
- Language learning (currently: German, Spanish, previously a little Mandarin)
- The color blue
Inspiration for this blog…
- Tom Scott – Educational yet engaging, A+ video editing. This guy wants to see the world learn.
- Paolo fromTOKYO – Videography and lifestyle content, esp. his “Day in the Life of…” series
- All About Berlin – A prime example of modern web design focused on user experience and quality content without the bullshit. A hero to my local community.
This blog is powered by the Astro Framework, styled with TailwindCSS, and built and deployed using AWS Amplify.
