Nikolaj Salinger

After graduating from university, Nikolaj went off to backpack across South East Asia to recharge himself for the next chapter of his life. Realizing there was more to explore, he ditched his return flight home and decided to wander some more. While he sees backpacking as an expression of freedom, Nikolaj gets easily attached to a place, and stay there longer than usual. Over the course of three years, he’s had several jobs, usually at hostels where he stays, bookstores, and restaurants. He’s met people from all walks of life and still keeps in touch with them. If he has time to spare, he reads and writes voraciously, much of which is dedicated to this blog.

Nikolaj took a gap year in 2015. Then it became three years of exploring Southeast Asia and doing odd jobs on the side. And he has no plans of stopping. When he’s not out hiking, cycling, or meeting new people, he’s in his hammock reading a book or writing poems.
