New Zealand has been a huge part of my life story since 2018. It was the first place outside of the States that felt like home away from home. It's a place that's inspired me as an artist, and shaped me into the person I am now.

And finally, after years of hard work, a global crisis, and many sleepless nights, I packed up my life in Seattle, and moved to Wanaka - a small mountain town that serves as the gateway to the Mount Aspiring and the Alps.

This is the story of how I got here.
