Description
Hello! My name is Ryan and I’m 26 years old. I'm from the U.S. originally but I left my job in 2022 to go travel the world and have been outside the country since then, with the exception of this past winter which I spent as a children's ski instructor in Colorado. I’m passionate about the outdoors, playing guitar, meditation, hiking, skiing, permaculture and spontaneous adventure. I love getting to know people and learning about their experiences and ways of living. I don’t have a definite plan or direction at the moment, but I’m looking to learn new skills in the outdoors, particularly around construction (especially natural building, bio-construction), gardening / permaculture, and bushcraft / wild living. I would love to get involved with projects and experiences that are related to nature and the outdoors!

More details about your skills
I am fluent in English and can speak some broken Spanish. I can teach the guitar. I’ve spent time on permaculture farms in Costa Rica, Columbia, Germany and France and would love to immerse myself more in the space to learn as much as I can. I love interacting with animals and generally working in nature. In the states I used to work in Finance so I am well versed with the business world.
Age
27
What else ...
I love music and enjoy jamming whenever I can. I’m an avid reader, and am interested in Buddhism and Eastern philosophy in a broad sense. I got into Plant Medicine in the past few years and would love to immerse myself more in that world. I’m also into trekking, surfing and long games of Catan. I would love to learn new recipes and improve my cooking abilities!

Ryan stayed with us for a month in October and was a great person to have around, and helped us out tremendously with all manner of different tasks.
Ryan is a super easy going and undemanding person. He is discrete and quiet and kept himself occupied with reading, meditating and playing his guitar. He was no trouble at all to host, and was hard… read more

I stayed at Karen and Glen's place for a month and it was exactly what I was looking for! They were super welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The yert was so peaceful, nestled up against the forest side of the property, and it felt almost magical to wake up to the birds every morning. The weekend hot tub was an added perk! I learned so… read more

I spent about a month here and really enjoyed my time. The hostal is really nice and David and Camilo are genuinely nice people. The work is fair and in my off days it was easy to hitchhike to Corralco to ski. I also got to work a bit in David's greenhouse where he has a small tree nursery. The surrounding area is beautiful, very picturesque.… read more

Looking back at it, my time spent volunteering here feels outs of touch with time. 5 weeks seems like it came and went in a blink. What a beautiful, raw place in tune with the natural beauty and vibration of the jungle. The time and experiences I’ve had the opportunity to have with each of the animals will stay with me for life. The work is hard… read more
