Hello, my name is Kyle and I just finished a year-long teaching contract in Korea. Now I am on quite a long journey, having visited fifteen or so countries in the last couple years. A huge part of travelling for me is to make cool friends along the way :D I am not an incredibly noisy person, and I enjoy music, art and delicious food.

Some of my favourite experiences among my travels include:

-Being the first foreigner to ever stay in a small village in Nepal. Living with the people there and attending their religious festivals, and getting to know everyone.
-Hiking around Mount Everest
- Filming a documentary about mental health in Kosovo and working at a community centre there.
- Camping in the deserts of Israel, after a long rain, forcing flowers up amongst the hills.
-Taking long and awful 20 hour train rides across India stuffed in the luggage compartment, while people bring cobras onto the train, hissing at me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would really appreciate being immersed in new cultures, and I feel like staying with the people of a given place is the best way to do so. If you know cool places to go or things to see, let me know!
