Hello!
Im nick,
I grew up on the northside of Chicago, IL where I learned an appreciation for the diversity of people. This helped fuel my insatiable appetite for traveling and adventure, which was ignited after I took up photography. As my interest in capturing images grew into an important hobby, I found having a camera around my neck both encouraged and complimented my lust for exploration.

I feel that my interests are ever growing. I simply love to learn new things and try to whenever I can. I'm rather mechanically inclined.and find myself drawn to figuring out how things work, (and how to fix things when they're broke!).

Music is very important to me. I love many types of music and am always on the prowl for new, interesting music. I am most competent on the guitar but I dabble in a number of other instruments (read as "if you hand it to me ill try to play it" ).

After a bit more traveling, I plan to learn to build guitar effects pedals and am considering going back to school to finish a degree in electrical engineering
(I want to help create new sustainable energy options)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's nice to meet new people, nice to have a couch to crash on, and more fulfilling than staying in hotels!
