CURRENT MISSION

My current mission in life is to see all I can see (on a budget).

ABOUT ME

My name is Ryan and I love traveling! I just graduated from college and will have some freedom to explore different areas in the world. I love music, books, and sports (but love to talk about them with people more). Really, I am just a sociable guy who wants to meet people on my travels!

PHILOSOPHY

I am very easy going and am level-headed in any given situation. I have two rules that govern my life: 1. Don't be an asshole, and 2. Don't make anyone else's life harder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, my couch providing situation is non-existent, although the idea of hosting is incredible to me. On the travel end, however, I am looking for someone who can provide a unique insight into their city/area. I really like learning about new places: sightseeing, stories, bars, talking, etc. so it would be nice that my host be ready for a bunch of questions about their place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never surfed through this site, per se, but I have been in college hours away from my parents. This means, I have taken many a road trips and crashed on many couches. I am a very compact person and can sleep anywhere. Also, I really try to clean up after myself and help out where I am needed (not afraid to mow a lawn or wash some dishes).
