Ryan’s the name and life is my game. I am a teacher of English here in Shanghai. I love to climb, scuba dive, long board and meet new people! Music is my passion, and the best concerts come from the shower. Let’s laugh together, because laughter is the best language. I deeply enjoy learning about new cultures and languages. I’m also very open to new ideas and perspectives, so please blow my mind. I hope my adventure will continue as long as I live, and I hope that I never stop learning during said adventure. I try to be a responsible human being when it comes to living on this planet. We can all do a better job though. I hope to keep bees one day. 🤪🌲♻️🧗🏻‍♂️ 🐝

Music, Movies, and Books

How does one even begin to choose a favorite?

I enjoy all types of music, but EDM, Rock (classic and modern), blues, bluegrass, folk, hip-hop and classical all rank among the top contenders. 🤪

Books and movies I won’t even try to choose favorites with.
