Hi Buddies! My name is Ryan.

I'm a 26 year old, Guitar Strumming, Musician from the Seattle area.

In my spare time I am typically pursuing various creative endeavors, out with friends, or looking for ways to distract myself from monotony.

Life is an opportunity to seek and understand, to give and to receive. I want to understand and care for people. Too often do we find ourselves distancing ourselves from the unknown and settling for the mundane. Love the people and experiences you encounter, because they make you, you.

Love and Peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet people along the way while I take another trip. As of recent, making my way from Seattle to San Francisco and back in 9 days. I'm new to this whole solo road tripping thing, and it's a little out of my comfort zone, but challenges build character, so I'm excited to see what Couch Surfing golds for me.
