Im from a very small town in New Zealand and have been travelling off an on for 4 years now, living in my van when back in New Zealand. Work in robotics/AI and really enjoy the outdoors, especially skiing / rock climbing / hiking.
Also really enjoy playing piano, mandolin, hammocking with a good book, and water colouring nice scenery!

Currently bikepacking across Japan
