Hello, my legal name is John but everyone calls me by middle name, Nick. I'm currently learning carpentry and I have a little side business making wooden instruments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling to Sweden to see relatives, but decided I wanted to expand my trip to the Baltic states, and maybe even go as far as Central and Western Europe. I figured it might be nice to be on a service like this throughout my travels, to get more immersed into local life and have more options along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had some rough times in my mid-twenties and decided to make a change a few years ago. I've since reconnected with my family and friends, finished my degree, started to learn a new language, and initiated my goal of owning a creative business.

Teach, Learn, Share

Political philosophy, Russian, help with daily tasks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't mind helping out with cooking and cleaning during my stay. Also, any other small tasks that might make the host's life easier for a day I am more than willing to help with. I can help with English practice if that's something someone might be interested in.
