Director Biography - Paul Ronan

Growing up in Minnesota you are surrounded by people who have an unrivaled love for everything outdoors. Throughout my teenage years, I met people, went on a few adventures, got into trouble, but always found myself walking back into the woods. After high school, I studied Outdoor Leadership which got me work ranging from leading horseback trips in Colorado to sea kayaking in Vietnam. In 2013 I moved to China where my time abroad has continued to teach me that there is more in me than I know. I've been balancing life in Minnesota and China ever since.

My purpose for walking the Silk Road is woven into the idea that “Humanity has thrived most when connected across its far-flung habitats by exchanges of goods, ideas, arts, and people themselves.” - James A. Millward.
