Personal Description

Always looking to try something different. Love kicking back and having drinks with friends, laying in hammocks, and laughing, a lot.

CouchSurfing Experience

Couchsurfed all over Europe, as well as hosted back in the U.S.

Interests

Drunk dancing, flying, skydiving, yoga, watching the sun set, SCUBA, road trippin' (especially through Texas), baking or other kitchen experimentation, having a good laugh, the stock market, making music with friends, and watching sunrises- before I go to bed. I like dark chocolate, hoppy beer, spicy food, and tight jeans. I can't stand: sweet wine, uncomfortable shoes, or insincere people...

Philosophy

It's not dress rehearsal. It's your Life.

Music, Movies, Books

I'm not really into movies, but I've been talked in to watching a few that I liked...Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, & Dead Poet's Society. I rarely hear music that I don't enjoy. Books: On the Road, Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, & anything by Hemingway.

Types of People I enjoy

All types, though life is too short to spend much time around narrow-minded or abrasive people for very long. I prefer people who look me in the eye, who laugh, loud and often. Kerouac said it better than I can, "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to talk, mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." --On the Road, 1957

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to drink two bottles of beer at one time.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Skipped a couple days of class and caught a last minute flight over to Belgium to see an old friend. I called him from the train station. He was surprised. Very surprised.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I think this may be the greatest thing to happen to the world since the wheel. Period.

Life with Kyle is life as it should be - fresh pancakes in the morning, a ride around town in his red convertible, and every kind of music you are in the mood for.

I met Kyle in the final stage of his Europe trip in 2006, a bunch of CS people gathered in Plaza Reial in Barcelona for a christmas meeting. Kyle stood out because of his big smile, unfortunately I didnt get to talk to him (too many ppl!!) but a friend of a friend is always a friend! Take care Kyle, hopefully our ways will meet again.

Kyle and his mate John were the perfect guests. It was all terribly improvised and our first experience of surfin but the manner, politeness and courtesy of these two was what convinced us to get involved in this initiative. On the third day of hosting on my return from Uni discovered the garden orgainized and a wonderful chilli awaiting. Kyle is a gentleman and I hope to see him back in europe soon. (james)

Eres la polla ;-). Definitely one of the easyest guys to accomodate ever.He only makes a question "What time do you want dinner?" Takes no time to feel close to him.
Because of him couschsurfing sita should add the "Oh please surf my couch again!" feature.

I just don't have anything bad to say about anyone I've met couchsurfing, and Kyle is no different. Really cool guy, great sense of humor. It's a shame I didn't get to spend more time with him or show him more of Goteborg!

My "must have". Kyle is a must. Your life won't be the same when you get to know him. He's smart, fun, interesting, sweet and a great Guinness drinker. Don't know how to fill the gap since he left! He would be on my perfect Cs island, he's already part of my Cs family!

KT. Damn where do I start...I have known Kyle since I was a wee lad, and I cannot think of a more selfless person. . .he exemplifies what this site is all about. SO, if you consider hosting/surfing with him, be fully prepared for some mad fun, because he draws positive energy and experiences and spreads it to everyone he meets, no matter where he goes.

Kyle could only stay with us for a day- but we grabbed some mexican food, beer, brought a bottle of rum back to the apartment, and played guitar 'til the wee hours of the morning. He's thoughtful, helpful, and plays a mean harmonica. If you have a chance to get down with Kyle, I suggest you do.

Incredible party fellow. I may repeat the same things, but after BCN parties, Angie's birthday was so good fun, and partly because Kyle is such an amazing party fellow! He is, like John, Eli, Angela, and many others, why I enjoy so much to be part of the CS family.

He´s got style. We can´t get enough of him. He let me vent stress of planning events. He will only imrpove the lives of those he comes in contact with. Period yo!

Once upon a time, in a small backyard, two guys (John Elkins and I) were playing guitar. Sudenly, someone started to play harmonica like a God (the God of Wine). It was such a pleasure to meet Kyle. We had a splendid time in Bordeaux jamming, eating, drinking and... well, enjoying life. Can't wait to hear your harmonica on some Dylan again. Take care man!

Fun in Barcelona. Kyle and I couch surfed together in Barcelona and had a great time at a cs party there. Fantastic bloke to have about and a lot of fun to be with. Kyle is very trustworthy and very thoughtful, he has some great jackets and some very tight jeans. Plays a mean mouth organ too.

Scooby Dooby Dooooooooo! Kyle is a LEGEND - I was in stitches all weekend. He does the meanest unintentional early morning hangover impersonation of Jim Morrison and his contribution to my 4 day birthday bender in Bordeaux with the Sock Auction and Tram Gymnastics will forever be imprinted in my mind. Happy memories man, wouldn't have been the same without you... its gonna be hard hard to beat but when we hang out again, and it will happen, we're gonna top it bro! ...and we expect you to join in on the Haka!

hey mr nice guy. Kyle is an amazingly nice guy, but at the same time is so much fun to be around that you just want to tie your shoe laces to his and have him drag you around for a few months or so. Met up on a few occasions and led to tons of fun filled joy. Can´t wait to meet up again buddy
