ABOUT ME

I'm Kyle. I'm from South Jersey/Philadelphia US. I love music, art, motorcycles, and traveling. I love excitement, new things, new places, new ideas, new people. I love to be a good friend to everyone around me. I have experienced a lot of things and it is a passion of mine to help others in need. I might just be the most easy going guy you will ever meet haha

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. You never know where your help could come from. Never be too busy to not lend a helping hand to those in need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about the website from a friend after asking him if such a website like CS existed. I am all about having people stay at my place and CS makes it possible to travel much easier especially when funds are limited and people are pleased to help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed at some incredible people's homes on their couches. Amazing and life changing experience. Couch Surfing is by far the best way to travel and meet new and incredible/friendly people! ;]

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very passionate about helping people through things I have experienced. I am knowledgeable in the music industry.
