I'm a fun loving, adventurous, mostly excitable but also also (sometimes) chill kinda guy! Into almost all board sports (especially skateboarding, SUP and Snowboarding). I love music; mostly rock, but anything I can dance to is good.

I meditate daily. If you see me still, sat up, quiet, eyes closed, i may be meditating. I don't need quite for any special conditions for it. I love being as mindful as possible too. I'm happy to talk about it too.

I'm Vegan and i'm super chill about it. I don't preach it and I am happy to cook for myself and for others. I don't expect anyone to be vegan or veggie around me. Each to their own.

I like helping others generally so when I stay somewhere I will definitely help out as much as I can. Weirdly enough..I actually enjoy washing up! ha.

Acting & filmmaking are passions of mine. My favourite part is the shoot, as its an amazing collaboration of people.

I love meeting new people, and going on unexpected adventures.

Photography is another passion of mine. Do it on my phone, and on a more pro camera. You can see my instagram @rydcook

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people from all over the world. I'm inter-railing through Europe in Mar/April 2023 and I'd love to meet and hangout with locals along the way. A few places I may go include: Budapest, Vienna, Ljubjana, Innsbruck, Bologna, Florence, and Marsielle

I've been to Couchsurfing meet ups in Vancouver & Cambridge.

I stayed at a place in Portland that was awesome, the host lent me a skateboard which made me mega happy! I also met a friend in Cambridge through the CouchSurfing website, this resulted in a cool new friendship and a trip to Serbia!

Done plenty of other traveling too: Vancouver, Toronto, San Fran, New York, Philadelphia, Thailand, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Japan, Spain, Greece, Poland (got family there), Slovakia, Germany, Finland.. in 2020 jan/feb I spent 2 months in New Zealand in a campervan.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Seeing Mt Fuji in Japan was quite an incredible experience for me, I love mountains and the sight of this guy was mind blowing. Was a beautiful day and got some great pictures. Wasn't in season to go up it, but seeing it was enough. Quite stunning!
