My name is Kevin, I grew up in Southern California but have most recently been living in San Francisco. I enjoy pretty much anything outdoors with a special propensity towards biking, climbing, and snowboarding. I love a beer with a good conversation, or coffee with a good book. I like listening to a record with friends then talking about all its artistic merits. Cooking, eating, chilling. Also always down for a yoga session :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet cool people from all over the world. Get a local perspective from the countries I visit. And have a place to sleep :)
