Traveler and photographer based in Germany

My name is Nicole (@nicci.czyk) and I am a 21-year-old travel photographer from Regensburg, Germany, located in Bavaria. From a very young age, I was passionate about photography. I took photos of almost everything and everyone, even documenting my holidays and surrounding landscapes. But taking photographs on my own did not satisfy me. The decision to start modeling was the beginning of a journey I didn’t expect. 

Last year, I connected with a photographer looking for a model. When we met, I was totally blown away: he was super handsome and humorous. We understood each other right away. We began meeting more often and soon I recognized that we had similar interests. I absolutely feel in love with him. We both felt the same unfulfilled desire to travel. He started to change my mindset in so many ways and gave me back my passion for photography. Together with my boyfriend, I started to go on adventures.

"Today we are best friends and travel buddies."

It’s been over six months since our first trip and ever since we’ve road-tripped through different regions in Germany and Austria – including our favorite: Lake Eibsee – we have explored Porto and the beautiful island of Sardinia, and we traveled low budget and slept in the car to capture the morning light in the Dolomites. 

This may sound funny to you, but I really enjoy the times at the airport waiting for my flight to a new adventure. I love the atmosphere at the airport – you can watch the planes starting and landing, this tingling in the stomach before the flight starts and the feeling of freedom while watching the impressive cloudscape from the small plane window.

"And then you leave the plane at a completely new place and you fall in love with the beauty of the country."

The world is so big and there are so many beautiful and extraordinary places I want to see with my own eyes. I absolutely love exploring new places and can’t get enough of it, it fulfills my heart and widens my mind. In the future, me and my boyfriend (@constantinseuss) want to be able to see the northern lights, pet the alpacas at Machu Picchu, and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. 

"Nothing can stop us. And nobody can take away what we've experienced!"
