My name is Nicholas Potter but my friends call me Gavino. I currently share a house in Chicago with seven great roommates, that I can also call my close friends. I work in a print shop and am currently exploring web development. A lot of my free time is spent reading, writing, listening to and playing music. You can listen to some stuff my friends and I make at squished.bandcamp.com I live by a made-up “kick” philosophy—there are kicks to be had in just about any situation if you get creative enough. I'm new to using Couchsurfing myself, but have helped host a few guests with my housemates. I love hiking, and am beginning to explore longer-term backpacking. You'll probably see me with all my gear!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I would like to travel further and more often. To connect with similarly generous people and support making travel more affordable and accessible to everyone. I hope to grow and learn through hosts and guests!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share some great conversation, or a whole bunch of useless information about my favorite albums.
