Hi, I’m Ryan, from Jiaonan, a small town of Shandong, China. Currently, I'm working in Dongying Hekou, another small town of Shandong. My company is here conducting a cattle's IVF (in vitro fetilization) project and I'm mainly helping with the local technicians' trainning and production data analysis.

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