Hi, I'm Ryan. I love traveling and I wish I had more opportunity to do so. I spent four years living in New Orleans and I absolutely loved it. The food, music, and people are some of the best in the entire country. I graduated Tulane University with degrees in Mathematics and Economics and a minor concentration in Architectural Studies. I like to think I have a basic grasp on those subjects, but who knows....

I grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles and as much as I love the South, I love California more. The mountains and beaches and deserts are too beautiful to live without for too long.

I believe enjoying life should be everyone's number one priority, and I prefer to do it in the company of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Any way I can! I hope I can be of service when you're in my area (or when I'm in yours!)

I'm probably not able to host at the moment but I'm hoping to have a place of my own soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but positive experiences with surfing, hosting, and meeting up and I'm excited to continue my participation through the site.

Interests

I love music, especially seeing it live. That said, if I'm going out to see a performance, I have expectations to dance.

I also love the outdoors. Swimming, hiking, biking, running, you name it! Sports are enjoyable, although I'm not particularly good at any of them...

I'm a total math nerd so if you have any interest in conversing with me about it be warned that I might not stop. That said, I like to talk a lot and love hearing about new things. If you're well versed in any subject I would love to hear about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I honestly enjoy all music, especially if it's being performed in front of me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- In 2004 I rafted through the Grand Canyon portion of the Colorado River over the course of a week.

- In 2011 I experienced my first Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

- In 2015 I took a safari during the great wildebeest migration through the Serengeti.

- In 2017 I snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.
