Fellow Couch Surfers!

My name is Ryan Hellriegel and I just graduated from the University of North Florida. I have decided to take a gap year before going back for my masters and am currently traveling where ever the wind may take me. I am a very outgoing and motivated person that basically just loves to have a great time and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on couch surfing because I love the concept of it. Unfortantly in the US i have never heard of it but since coming to Europe I hear nothing but great things and am curious to check it out. I am excited to meet local people from different areas because I know my favorite thing to do is give someone a tour of my community and I would imagine everyone on here feels the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as teaching goes it is whatever you get out of it, one never knows what is learned from someone else until you remember what was once said. I would love to learn about your true story, how you got to where you are today and what your plans are for the future. Share my story.
