Hello,
I'm Kyle and I live in Barcelona, Spain. I 've been here for the last year or so and it's a really great place! So much to do in the city, the sea, and great nature and mountains just a train ride away!
I enjoy a whole range of things especially outdoor activities like via ferrata, climbing, hiking, slackline and exploring cities and traveling!
Before I moved to Spain I cycled from London to Istanbul passing through 16 countries, staying in a combination of my tent, hostels, and Couchsurfing. It was truly a great experience in many fantastic countries with great people along the way.
After this trip, I stayed in Istanbul for three months, then toured India for 3 months, and then Nepal for three months. Trekking in the Himalayas was one of the best experiences of my life. The stunning beauty and clarity of the mountains are astonishing and super peaceful.
Then I went to Myanmar--also a fantastic place to visit--Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. Truly an amazing experience and journey.
Now I'm just enjoying staying in one place for a bit, but the urge for South America is starting to grow!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people obviously! To share experiences and talk to people and hopefully learn the hidden gems they have to offer about where they are from!

Intereses

Cycling, rock climbing, reading, writing, hiking, trekking, sports, trying new things. Via ferrata too! And travel obviously. I also occasionally write.

Música, películas y libros

The Secret Race, Jupiter's Travels, Alkaline Trio, The Wonder Years (the band), Daft Punk, Four Year Strong, ACDC, George Orwell, Henrich Harrer, Jon Krakauer, Annapurna

Algo increíble que he hecho

In April 2015 I set off to cycle from London to Istanbul. After three months and 2,800 miles I achieved my goal - after being scared shitless by the roads into Istanbul! But anyway it was an amazing trip where I met loads of really cool people along the way. Reaching the destination was great, but the journey itself was amazing and an experience I will never forget. Crossing the Alps on a bicycle was insane but great fun!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Yes! I need help with my Spanish and I will help you with whatever I can.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Anything they want within reason I suppose. I'm easy going and will help with whatever you need. I'm social and like to get to know the people I meet and enjoy my time with them.
