I'm a laid back, people oriented person. I love meeting new people and sharing experiences. I'm an extremely passionate person, when I find something I'm into, I'm go all in; I learn everything I can about it, I talk about it (like a lot!) and I share it as often as I can. I also have slight ADD tendencies, so I will often bounce to different hobbies frequently.

I'm a full time wedding photographer with my wife, we travel all over the US documenting love and it's the greatest thing! I love coffee. Before I went full time with photography I managed a local coffee shop. Now, I curate a coffee blog on the side. You can check out our wedding photography work here: www.kylelovestori.com, my personal photography work here: www.kylesheppard.com, and the coffee blog here: www.handsomewade.com

Finally, I love Jesus. I found after learning about His unconditional love for me, that the craziest thing I could do was not love Him back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I love meeting new people. While I am not in a position to host currently (renting a basement apartment, landlords aren't super sold on the idea), I have had multiple opportunities to meet people randomly in my town and show them around and it has always been an enriching experience. I'm hoping to find more of those via Couchsurfing, both locally and while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born on Mother's Day. I've modeled for an Ad agency. I was an extra in a block buster Italian film.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share what I know about just about anything. Coffee, Photography, and Jesus in particular.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to brew you a cup of coffee if the tools are at my disposal (I usually travel with them, but sometimes don't have the luxury), and photography, it's REALLY rare occasion that I travel without atleast one camera!
