Schmidt spent a summer in Vail, Colorado as a street artist, sketching and painting buildings that he then sold to tourists in the resort town. He moved to Hawaii with the money earned, starting his career in hotel architecture and design before heading east to Hong Kong. While his day job is mainly about developing regional hotels and resorts' back of house, his side business is the Bumbling Traveller Adventure Series.
