My name is Ryan, a current student at the University at Buffalo passionately pursuing a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery. I love anything to do with the great outdoors including kayaking, fishing, camping, and anything in between. During the harsh winters of Buffalo you can find me snowboarding or playing percussive acoustic guitar. I am an avid motorcycle enthusiast as well who loves to cook, make wine, and enjoy the simple things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went on a sponsored trip to Israel with Case Western Reserve University's Dental School for a few weeks that opened my eyes to life outside of the US. It is important to become a citizen of the world, so I would love to assist others in getting the same cultural experience I was given through couchsurfing. I hope that by giving free living accommodations in my home, I can share the same experience with others around the world.
