I'm Ry, originally from the US. I've traveled to 30 countries, lived in 9 of them, spent the past 20 years in different parts of Asia, and now living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d like to meet other like-minded individuals. Hoping to eventually create a tech community here in Phnom Penh where we can work on projects together and share ideas.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music from Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Cambodia.

My all time most favorite movie (series) would have to be "Young and Dangerous (古惑仔)" from Hong Kong, starring Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I run a few of my own companies which have clients and employees all around the world. These jobs allow me to work from just about anywhere as long as I have my laptop and a reliable internet connection.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help other people with their English and/or Japanese & Chinese. I can read Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Thai, and now I’m trying to learn how to read Khmer. Next I’d like to learn how to read Burmese as well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel experience, info on visas and expat life, foreign culture, IT knowledge, company setup info for startups, help with English or even Japanese & Mandarin.
