Nicolas Tegni

Nicolas Tegni, or N1, as he is called by most was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the biggest cities in South America.  N1’s parents learned that he was deaf at the age of 6 months and decided to move to New York when he was 2 for a better education. As for the story behind his nickname, while growing up, N1 attended a camp where there were two Nicks; one younger and one older, since he was the older one, everyone has called him N1 ever since.

N1 recently graduated from RIT with a Bachelor of Science degree and currently lives in New York City and working part time while searching for full time job. N1 loves to travel around the world and he has traveled to more than 25 countries; Argentina, Chile, Bahamas, Mexico, Israel, and almost all of Europe. The trip to Guatemala will be N1’s first time there and he is looking forward to it!
