My name is Kyle, and I'm an outdoor adventure guide, guiding on rivers, oceans, and mountains. I love the outdoors (obviously) and people, and I love to share my passion with others who may not be able to experience the beauty and serenity of nature on a regular basis. That being said, I love meeting new people, making new friends, and learning about the lives that those people lead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a guide, work is very seasonal, which requires me to travel long distances multiple times a year. I really enjoy travelling to new places, meeting new people, and learning as much as I can along the way. The best part of travelling is all the cool and interesting people you meet, and it's those connections that make geographical locations so memorable. Couchsurfing, I think, is a great way to encompass all of that and make new friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like all kinds of music, as long as the message is not overly negative or destructive: Classical, Choral, Jazz, Classic Rock, etc.

Movies:
I'm very open minded when it comes to movies, so I like about anything that I watch. I especially enjoy a good laugh, or even a movie that makes me think!
Favorites: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Pirates of the Caribbean, Made of Honor, Act of Valor, Mean Girls, Out Cold the list goes on and on...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wouldn't say I'm the best cook, but I can cook a pretty tasty breakfast, whether it's actually for breakfast or any other meal! I've also recently learned how to make some mean vegan chili.
I don't have a lot to offer in terms of material things. However, I have some great stories to tell and a set of random knowledge and skills that I could pass on. You never know when you might need them!
