Hey everybody, my name is Nick. Im a very down-to-earth guy trying my best to meet as many people and learn as much as i can about other cultures. I've always been told that you can learn something new from anyone; im currently trying to learn everything :). From a young age, travel has been in my life. Whether a trip to Disney Land, camping out or roadtrips, i was completely enthralled. After a backpacking trip through SEA i knew i wanted more. I'm on a mission to put the phone down and tune in to everything that is REAL.
Besides travel i enjoy dancing like nobody is watching, sports, hoppy IPAs, getting lost, my dog Rocco, juggling and Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im couchsurfing because i want to be able to meet and connect with other people from all over the world. I've met some really amazing people in my travels and want to continue the growth of community where ever I go. The best way to find out about others culture or ideals is through meeting up. It's always a pleasure to meet locals or people from other countries and hear their experiences and cultural background as opposed to what i read and see. I can only understand so much from the outside looking in. I very much enjoy telling people about my story and where i came from. The idea of trading traditions and ideas excites me. I cant wait to learn and see more!

Interests

If theres snow in the mountains and blue skies you can definitely find me on the mountain. I am completely in love with the outdoors, Seattle is the best of both worlds. Right now im really trying to learn Spanish and eventually French. In order for me to connect with more people i want to be able to speak other languages and help bridge the gap. I've known sports my whole life, if you have a ball im down to play! Hiking and exploring will always catch my attention.

Music, Movies, and Books

My mom listened to Motown, my dad classic rock, somehow Hip Hop was my choice. I enjoy almost all types of music but could never get into country. I enjoy dancing so anything that would get these feet tapping, im all in.
I really like comedies, thrills, and cheesy horror movies.
Need to read more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Sipadan Island with manta rays and sharks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about my country, my people. If you would like to learn or improve your English, i would love to help. I can teach flow arts (juggling, poi).
Learning about your culture, people, and language really excite me. I want the first hand view.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation. I love to converse with new people about all types of subjects. I have some stories form my home, travel that i think people would enjoy. You will have a better idea about where i come from and the idea or norms that i am used to after a day.
