CURRENT MISSION

This might sound corny but I believe developing relationships with your friends and loved ones is what makes life meaningful. Also comics.

ABOUT ME

I'm the author of over 20 comic books, 3 board games,a Spongebob Squarepants spread for Nickelodeon Magazine, two card tricks and the world's second largest interactive comic which you can see behind me in my profile picture.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe love and friendship are the most valuable things in life. But a close second is appreciating the beauty of the world through art, literature and science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met up with couchsurfers in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a servas traveler and host for 25 years (since I was 10 years old). I made the switch to couchsurfing a year ago when I went traveling through India.

Interests

Choose Your Own Adventure books, movies, Lego technics, This American Life, comics, food, board games, walking, logic puzzles, inventing card tricks. If you stay with me, I have a large collection of wooden burrs and entanglement puzzles for you to play with.
