Hello! I’m Ryan, a Chinese student currently studying in Tokyo as a college student. I’ve lived in Kyoto and Tokyo for half of two years, and I’m currently living in Leuven, Belgium. Love exploring the world and would love to stay with locals to experience the culture and know more languages. I speak Mandarin, Japanese, and English, and I’m learning French. I’m passionate about international relations, politics, and cultural exchange. I enjoy cooking Chinese dishes and would be happy to share these with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

My most exciting experience was hitchhiking from Tokyo to Akita.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m studying intercultural communication in uni, focusing on international relations, linguistics, and cultural studies. We can discuss a variety of topics, including politics, local issues in Japan or China, and how to learn languages or local cultures in these countries. I’m also interested in learning more about new languages, as well as local culture and customs here.
