Now that he's out of the Army, Ryan Conklin has written about what he plans to do in the near future. It's going to be a lot of travel and social networking. The thing Ryan wanted to do the most after The Real World Brooklyn, but couldn't because of the Army recall interruption, was go back to school. However, that goal is going to continue to be delayed for awhile. One, because a semester has already started, and two, because he has a lot of other things he wants to get involved with first.
Ryan wants to do some traveling around the country, both for personal reasons and for doing speaking engagements at colleges and other organizations. He also wrote that he planed to go to Mexico for "spring break". While there, he is at least planning for the possibility of getting into enough trouble to warrant a temporary stay in a Mexican lock-up. (He might want to rethink that.)
Online, Ryan wants to do more blogs, more photos, and more videos. So people should be able to get their Ryan fix more often.
Speaking of communications, Ryan Conklin has made note that something that made his transition back into the Army and subsequently back to civilian life was the large amount of messages of goodwill he got from fans in 2009. The letters, emails, tweets, blogs (like this one), that people wrote to show how well they thought of him were very important to his state of mind. The messages made him "smile, think, and often times laugh. Humor is simply the best."
