Hello! My name is Nick Merrill and I live in American Fork, Utah with my wife Kayla and our toddler. We love to meet new people and hope to travel more in the coming years. I was born in Arizona, raised in Texas and the UAE, and I travelled around the Czech Republic for two years as an LDS missionary. Since completing my bachelors degree, I have been arranging international exchange programs for Utah Global Diplomacy. Through my work, I've interacted with people from 153 countries! Occasionally, I am looking for people in Utah who are willing to host international visitors traveling on U.S. State Department or Congressional exchange programs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host, to travel, and to find hosts for international exchange program participants (always adults/young professionals).
