Ryne is a full-time student looking to continue education by traveling again and learning about life in a different state. Train hopped for a little while with a close friend from Portland. Her amazing stories of Oregon were stored in the back of my mind only to be unleashed some day for my own curiousity. Carl Sagan fanatic, anything to do with the outer world beyond our atmosphere. I love my wife April and the future we are going to share. Music obsessed, I'm a slave to the riff and in love with life's mystery.

April is a part time student and bartender (originally from New York) looking to explore new areas of the country.. now is the perfect time and age to do so..i have always had a strong passion for art and film.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

April and I want to start a wonderful life together. Both of us are in love with traveling, experienced and quick witted. Meeting new faces and going to new places is what our life has planned out for us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ryne has been through most of the South by riding the owl holes and grainer porches of dirty trains all thanks from the free ride system of the hobo gods. Also, did some extensive organic farming internship in the Appalachian Mountains of Marshall, North Carolina. After living in a double wide trailer in the mountains it taught me there is so much more to life and we should get busy living it.

April has not been traveling much besides the east coast, but has always had a stong passion, admiration to travel and see what else is out there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Midwestern life, what is this? It's a close knit group of people in the middle of the country.. most of us have amazing artistic and musical talents that are ideal for us to branch out and see other parts of the world with our skills to share which consists of sewing and designing, flyer making out of our wicked drawing skills..and the love for playing music....we excel in labor such as farm work and landscaping, Ryne loves to work with gardens whenever he gets the chance and also anything with hammer, wood, and nail. Bonfires and tree climbing is a life necessity you learn in middle America. We try our hardest to be two positive and down to Earth human beings.

States Ryne has visited - Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York City, Maryland, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Florida, and Illinois. I'm sure there is a couple more I forgot to add to the list.

States April has visited - New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Montana and Florida.
