Ryan Chicovsky, a Washington state resident, first went to China as a study abroad student. He became interested in the culture and language and soon landed a job at a small school in a rural area teaching English. During a break from school, Ryan went backpacking, his travels taking him to Laos. Only a couple of days short of meeting his family in Hong Kong for a visit, Ryan disappeared from a remote area in Laos. He has not been seen since.

Some of Ryan’s things were found, including photos he had taken and had someone else take of him that last day. It has now been four and a half years since Ryan vanished and his family and friends are still hunting for him.
