My name is Ryan, and I'm a biped carbon-based life form. In my spare time I enjoy walking upright and being warm-blooded. I live on planet Earth, a piece of rock orbiting a giant fireball in the middle of nowhere. I feel I belong here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploiting the goodwill and charity of strangers is certainly a primary reason for my engagement with this site. On top of that, I find that it is a useful medium for my proselytisation efforts in attempt to win over converts to the one true faith: Scientology. Praise be, L. Ron Hubbard!

Interests

My hobbies are magnets, I like little green ghouls, and my favourite food is milk-steak with a side of (raw) jelly-beans. My dislikes are peoples knees. Cover your knees up if you're going to be walking around everywhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where to begin? Nature is awesome, and I've seen some amazing things that the natural world has to offer, from the Rocky Mountains, to the Grand Canyon, to the scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, to camping in the Sahara Desert, to seeing the Aurora Borealis in Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Play me at chess. I can teach you if you don't know how to. If you already know, I shall learn that you are likely better than I. And we will share in the experience of picking up the pieces off the floor when one of us chucks a tantrum and throws the board off the table.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beer. I mean, not the exact same beer, unless you wish to do so.
