CURRENT MISSION

To erode the negative perceptions the international community has of the USA.

ABOUT ME

Life is all about variety and spontaneity. The name is Ryan, but most people call me "Hoody" or "HT". I am a care free, fun loving individual, always looking for an adventure on the path less traveled. Hiking? I will go anywhere feet can travel. Dancing? If there's a beat I'll rock it. I love cultures centered around music, delicious sustenance, and smooth libations. People can approach me about anything, and I am always ready for substantial conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

There is something bigger out there than ourselves. We are all connected. Leave people, places, and things better than I found them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As long as I have room wherever I live, people will be welcome to stay with me.

I thoroughly enjoy surfing couches while I travel. It is one of the best ways to experience a country, meet locals, and avoid the overly taken "tourist" path.
