Lost in Culture

Lost in Culture

Hey! I am Ryan and I make videos of me exploring different cultures whilst uncomfortably over-indulging myself with food. While I am on my travels, I am using as a time for self-exploration and asking the big questions about the world! Join me on this journey of embracing culture and self-improvement.

    @lostinculture just something to relax me mostly, but these days, if I do drink whiskey, it's usually a half pint and maybe 2 or 3 beers, and I'm good to go. It's more for a buzz after work.
