Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m from England and I’m currently travelling Asia. When I’m at home I like to focus most of my energy on my artwork and my dream is to be a portrait painter. I’m laid back, willing to try anything and love new experiences and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best thing about travelling is meeting new people and the best way to meet them in my experience is through Couchsurfing!

Interests

When I’m trying to be cool I like art, music, playing guitar, singing and cult movies. When I’m not, I like video games, anime and dungeons and dragons.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a variety of music but some of my favourite artists are Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Depeche Mode and Radiohead. Some of my favourite films include Trainspotting, The Life Aquatic, What we do in the Shadows, The Princess Bride, Resevoir Dogs, The Shining and Spirited Away. Three great books I’ve read this year are 1984, Life of Pi and Norwegian Wood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know about amazing things but two things that I’ve surprised myself by doing recently are selling my artwork and performing in a band.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve had a little experience teaching English in Thailand and Vietnam so I’d be more than happy to help anyone out with that. I’m also not too bad with a paintbrush or a guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of my travels and I’m travelling with a guitar so may sing you a song if you’re lucky/unlucky. Also, check my Instagram. If you like my artwork and we get on well I’ll paint you something for free in return for hosting me! It’s:
