Hello and welcome! I'm Hyunjin Kim, but you can call me Ryan.

I’m originally from South Korea and currently living in the vibrant city of Jakarta, Indonesia. I’m an outgoing and easygoing person who believes in embracing life with positivity and an open mind.

I recently completed my MBA in South Korea, which has given me new insights and perspectives to approach the world. Traveling is my lifelong passion, and I’m proud to say I’ve now explored 47 countries! Each journey has deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and the amazing stories people carry with them.

During my studies, I lived in Shanghai, China, and experienced an exchange program in London, UK. These experiences have shaped me into someone who values cultural exchange and meaningful connections.

Whether it’s sharing travel tips, enjoying great conversations, or just creating fun memories together, I’d love to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. My home is your home, so come as you are, and let’s make the most of your journey!

Looking forward to meeting you and hearing your story. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, the heart of travel isn’t just about exploring new places—it’s about connecting with people and sharing stories that leave a lasting impact. Every person I meet brings a fresh perspective to my journey, turning each interaction into a memorable chapter of my life.

Couchsurfing is more than just a way to find a place to stay; it’s a gateway to immersing myself in local cultures, forming authentic connections, and building friendships that span across borders. It’s about experiencing the world through the eyes of those who live it every day.

Let’s share moments, exchange ideas, and create incredible memories together. I can’t wait to hear your story and be a part of it!
