Hey there, I'm Nick.

I currently live in West Hollywood (Los Angeles) but travel quite a bit due to the flexible nature of my work. I both grew up and was educated in Southern California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet people in different countries! Although I'm from the United States I plan on leaving the country when I get older... By interacting with inhabitants of the different countries I visit I'm actively researching where I'd like to eventually settle down... What better way to gain information (and appreciation) for an area than by staying with locals?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Again, this is tough (I hate indecision, it's like mental paralysis)... But I'd have to say watching the Northern Lights whilst shooting fireworks from a small encampment along the Copper River in Chitina, Alaska.
