Hello fellow Couch-Surfers! I'm Ryan from Singapore, currently 19 years old. I am an aspiring entrepreneur, hoping to make a small difference in the world with regards to issues such as Poverty and Climate Change.

To me, my life philosophy is " Everything happens for a reason". This philosophy has served me well with regards to the blessings I've received as well as the unfortunate events that I appreciate equally as much. I hope I will be able to live a fulfilling life, where I am able to make friends all around the world as I travel around, absorbing the different cultures and unique experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Slowly achieving my dream of visiting every country, state and city in the world while making lifelong friends along this exciting journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to share some local cooking styles from Singapore as well as the experiences I had in China. I would love to be able to learn about your current opinions in current affairs and politics as well as your unique personal experiences and run-throughs in weird/funny experiences throughout your life.

However, things I would love to share with you is my life as a Student in a South East Asia country, the culture shocks I've experienced as I travel to more liberal countries as well as the different community involvement projects I've done in Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand as well as my goals in life.
