Originally from Vancouver, B.C., the 27-year-old now lives in Bali when he's not travelling.
"Five years ago, I was working a 9-5 job that was considered to be the 'dream' opportunity but somehow found myself depressed and drained. In that difficult time, I learned the most important lesson of my life. I discovered that no amount of money or success would make me happy if I wasn’t doing what I loved," his website said.
"So, I quit. I sold everything I owned and bought a one-way ticket to Thailand with no money, no real skills as a content creator and no idea what I was doing," it added.
