CURRENT MISSION

Experience life outside of a cubicle

ABOUT ME

Hey there, I am a Kyle, a 26 year old American guy currently living in Shanghai, China. I went to college at the University of Michigan and I have been sort of wandering since graduating! I am very, very laid back; almost to a fault, and easy to get along with.

PHILOSOPHY

Chill, Relax, Enjoy, Have Fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met up with people but never hosted or been hosted.

Interests

I enjoy sports and active activities, as well as just sitting around and relaxing with friends. I try not to eat at the same place twice and I really enjoy trying new things and having new experiences. I am a do anything once sort of person. My favorite thing in the world is a good night out eating and drinking with friends, with both usually done to excess!

When traveling I generally prefer to experience urban life in new countries, whether its just walking around the streets aimlessly all day or hitting the tourist route circuit. I have seen enough temples to hold me over for a couple years and although this is the opposite preference of many backpackers/travelers I enjoy experiencing more of the present and future of new places rather than the past and rural nature. I am very interested in the global macroeconomy and big, long-term trends that we as a world are experiencing.
