Currently working as a graphic designer in Westbury NY, 40 minutes outside of New York City by train or car. My company prints t-shirt designs sent out world wide for a range of different locations and events.

Building up worlds, illustrating, writing, animating, and designing are some of my biggest driving forces. I love fiction, reading, writing, watching anything that can capture my imagination and hopefully impart knowledge along the way.

WHO I AM

Creator, thinker, student, friend. I love to read, meet new people. I treat my friends like family. The Ryan family crest says "Malo Mori Quam Fodari" which means I would rather die than be disgraced. I try to keep that in mind on a daily basis.

I'm very easy going and laid back. I'm a huge nerd, I love video games, comics and manga, and hope to one day be a comic artist. I love making people laugh and making sure everyone has a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surf to share stories, learn different cultures and show people some of my culture as well. Seeing the world beyond a screen or a picture or text. I don't want to go somewhere and stay in a vanilla hotel, nor do I want anyone else to experience that if they really want to see what a place has to offer, they have to live amongst the people that live there too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Unlocked the secrets of the universe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic drawing, willing to learn anything. I can share my skill with technology, I'm very tech-savvy, and generally pretty hand with tools.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm hoping to bring T-shirts for any host that will take me in made by me. As well as leave you a drawing and a happy memory of our time together.
