Hello! I'm Ryan. I'm a 23 year old artist from New York.

4 years ago I dropped out of university to pursue my filmmaking career on the internet. Since then I've had the privilege of traveling all around North America, I've meet other amazing creatives, and even built some businesses.

But recently, I left those businesses. I was watching myself and others around me slowly sink into the hamster-wheel of corporate America. I wasn't sure that I wanted to lock myself into a life of networking and business meetings.

I want to see more art, learn about other cultures, seek new perspectives, and end up in places I would have never expected. There's so much that I don't know about the world and myself -- so before I end up back in corporate America (if I ever do), I want to see if I can uncover a little bit of that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of the BEST travel experiences I've had has been hanging out with locals, exchanging stories, and gaining entirely new perspectives on life. CS seems like the perfect platform to find others seeking similar experiences!
