I'm a writer and artist. I’ve published 14 books. Traveled a ton. I’m traveling with the love of my life, Samira, and our 6 month old daughter, Sophia. They’re the light of my world.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I traveled to 28 countries in about 10 1/2 months back in 2009. I couch surfed my way around the world and then hosted couch surfers in LA for a while.
