CURRENT MISSION

To see more and more of the world and to help other people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25-year-old who is in the perpetual process of learning to try new things. I enjoy laughing, music, performance, sports, good conversation, and being outside. I value honesty, optimism, hopefulness, confidence, and an easy-going disposition. I have friends all over the world and I am doing pretty well at maintaining those connections over long distances. In the future, I hope to travel more, learn more, and get better at sharing.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on many couches and floors of friends while traveling in the U.S. and abroad. In fact, I only sleep on beds when I have to!

Interests

Most of my interests can be categorized into one of two areas: Fine Arts, and Sports. I enjoy listening to and making music (guitar, piano, drums), performing and acting on stage, dance, and film.

Some of my music may be found here: https://soundcloud.com/the_kyle

I like soccer, rugby, running, swimming, cycling, table tennis, and weight lifting.

I enjoy studying languages and feeling immersed in non-native cultures.

I am interested in the aesthetic and lifestyle ideas of minimalism, i.e. de-emphasizing possession of material things and emphasizing the garnering of experiences and intangibles.
