I am a children's book Illustrator! I travel a lot, and cook really good food :) I am married to a New Zealand girl and she is the best wife ever. I'm super easy going and everyone tells me I'm very cleanly. I don't smoke and I'm easy-going!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and I travel spontaneously so sometimes it's the best way to find last minute accommodation! Personally I enjoy getting a more local/cultural experience when I travel and I have found couch surfing to be one of the best ways!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost a hundred lbs in less than a year, I trekked to the top of an incredible 5,500 m high mountain in Nepal, I proposed to my wife in Paris, I built a tiny house in New Zealand, I wrote and illustrated a children's book, and I learned how to wake up and have an amazing day no matter what :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share travel advice! I also know a lot about art, music, horticulture, and building!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always happy to cook for a host and I try to give a small piece of art to people I stay with! I also like to think that all of our experiences have given each person a unique perspective on life. I am always happy to share my experiences!
