Hey! Our names are Kurt and Nat and we are currently touring the world on our bicycles. We’re in India for three months, currently spending our last month riding in South India from Bangalore to Kochi through the Ghats and then up the coast to Goa.

We’re both from the United States and have a passion for bikepacking and we are absolutely loving India. Our best experiences so far have been with the people we’ve met along the way and we love sharing ideas and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re on couch surfing now to meet people along our route, obviously to find places to stay, but most importantly to meet locals so we can learn more and dig deeper into the places we are passing through.

Interests

Everything is interesting if you’ve got the right teacher.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything! But we’ll admit, we’ve got a soft spot for Outlaw Country music :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked from Shimla through the Kinnaur and Spiti valleys, over the Leh-Manali Highway, and then over the highest motorable pass (maybe) Khardung La into Nubra valley!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can talk extensively about cycling in all its forms, backpacking, camping and generally anything related to the outdoors. If you’re thinking of traveling to the States or to Latin America we can help with that too! Also, we may have some songs on the guitar up our sleeve.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything! Happy to pull our weight and do chores around the house, share Mexican cooking and recipes, and have some good conversation!
