Hi! I'm Ryan.

I'm full of crazy stories and corny jokes. I grew up all over the United States and Germany, and have visited over 35 countries. I studied at Florida State University and currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I studied hospitality management but somehow found myself working in the logistics industry right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't used this platform since pre-Covid, so I hope it's still just as cool... I love meeting locals and finding out the true way people live where I travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, especially Rock, EDM, and Rap. I usually stick to the more humorous movies and shows

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending nearly half my life abroad has presented me with countless amazing stories, but one of my favorites was paragliding thermals into the clouds above Medellín and gliding back down to the mountain we took off from. It was well worth missing my flight home haha
