Always curious about cultures other than his own, he began working in the travel industry as a teen and then took to the hobby of planning trips for friends.

He works to connect others to the rhythm in the idiosyncrasies of transit systems that seems stubbornly inexact. He welcomes the clandestine routes that lead to corner stands with the freshest fruit and smiling faces. He believes in every mile traveled long and far that ends up at a bar on the other side of the world, where instant friends are made and preconceived notions are shattered over a night of arm wrestling tournaments and a spontaneous sing-a-long of American Pie.
