My name is Ryan, I am a Seattle, Washington transplant. I've lived in San Francisco for the past two years developing my design career and designing exhibits for museums around the U.S.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling around the world with my girlfriend hoping to meet locals to get a deeper sense of the cities we visit. We would love to meet people to learn from and share our experiences with. When we settle down again, we would love to host people as well. But until then, we're surfing for couches.

Interests

I love hiking, outdoors, biking, photography, attempting to make art, playing bass, tinkering with computers and electronics, building things, attempting to make any thing I can.
