Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ryan - I've traveled across the country and around the World often surfing couches. I used to juggle 'devil sticks' to make my way and if I couldn't earn tips, I'd at least earn a warm bed or couch for the night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ryan - Portrayed Jesus in a photo shoot in the old city in Jerusalem for a Swedish magazine with an article on the "Jerusalem Syndrome". Don't ask me... I was drunk at the time. By the way... The Church of the Holy Sepulchre rents crosses for money to pilgrims that want to re-create Jesus' last march through the streets... Nice to see them branching out and capitalizing on their own dogma in new and exciting ways...
