My name's Ryan (not Robert) Paulsen, and I'm from Canada. Ontario specifically, and (in order) London, Montreal (Quebec), Timmins, Oakville, Peterborough even more specifically.
I've lived in Korea teaching English for the past two years, and then embarked on a 2-month tour of S.E. Asia which I'm in the middle of right now.
I'm the oldest of three kids and the only son in the family. If these were the days of yore, I'd definitely inherit everything, but I suppose, times being what they are, I'll share with my sisters.
