Hi, I’m Ryan, from Qingdao, Shandong province, China.
Recently I resigned from my previous job and am traveling around Fujian Province and Guangdong Province of China. I'm back in Qingdao at the moment.

I’m an outgoing and easygoing person. In my free time, I like to go for a hike or play badminton or read. I don’t smoke, drink a bit occasionally (beer and wine mainly). I also like solo traveling and mindfulness meditation.

In general, I prefer a simple lifestyle, and try to live it up^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to stay curious about the unknow.

I think meeting with people from different places, countries and cultures and comunicating with each other to get to hear stories and learn new things is one of the most interesting things to do in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked alone in the mountains for two days, encountering rain and thick fog along the way. In the end, I descended for two hours in the dark beside a steep waterfall and made it out of the mountains, survived.

Teach, Learn, Share
