hey i'm ryan. i have a good sense of humor and can get along with anyone. i love meeting new people. especially those who differ in cultural habits and philosophical beliefs. it not only allows you to learn more about yourself as an individual but also to become more tolerable of others and come to realize how similar we all are on our quest to figure out life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

ever since i studied abroad in Germany last year traveling has been my main passion. not just traveling someplace to take a picture and say you went there, but completely immersing yourself in another culture. adapting your lifestyle to put yourself in other peoples' shoes.

Interests

love to play and watch basketball. just started getting into to european soccer too.
being outdoors as much as possible
having meaningless conversations for hours
good beer with good friends is all you can ever ask for
