Hey I'm Tyler! I started couchsurfing while I was in India 2 years ago and I was instantly hooked! I like traveling and meeting people along the way.

I'm happy to show guests around Buffalo!

I currently work organizing bicycle tours for teenagers and at the end of the summer I'll be beginning my Masters of Urban Planning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet more people in the places I travel ... rather than juat hanging out at hotels/hostels with other people who are traveling.

Interests

Bicycles - short rides, long trips, repairs/rebuilding

Music - pianist, I'm all about playing jazz and blues ... also guitar, American folk songs and classic rock mostly ... and recently I've added accordion to the mix

I love learning about history and politics, especially when I'm traveling. I think it's important to discuss these topics with people all over the world.

Also cooking and hiking/camping.
