Hi, My name is Ryan and I am a yoga instructor from Austin TX. I enjoy painting with acrylics and watercolors. I love listening to great music and being around good people. I have a passion for food, music, yoga, and mindfulness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on Couchsurfing because I would like to travel and meet great locals and develop life long friendships. I love meeting new people and seeing how others live. I love to learn new things and am always open to new ideas.

My interests include anything outdoors, music, food, sustainability, recycling, farming, as well as painting. I love to work with my hands and get down n dirty. I am interested in learning guitar. I love good music and good artwork. I like to go on bike rides and find that to be very relaxing. I love to help people in any way i can.

I listen to blues, country, classical, jazz, pop, hip-hop, basically every style of music. I am currently reading The Doors of Perception include Heaven & Hell by Aldous Huxley.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lead a chakra activation yoga retreat in Costa Rica last July. We focused on one chakra each day and incorporated foods that related to the color of that chakra.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to work for Apple doing support for Macs and iPhones and I am trained on how to fix many common issues with these devices. I want to learn how to play guitar as Im just learning the basics now. I would love to share my art and see how it is received. I love to teach people how to cook, especially sharing my love of everything vegan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of transitioning to a vegan diet or incorporating more plant based foods into your life. I am classically trained in the kitchen and have worked in the restaurant industry for 5+ years in USA. I am also a certified yoga instructor and have been teaching for almost a year now. I have been a practioner for about 5 years so far. I love to spread the healing powers of yoga.
