In 2015, he and his family went to Cambodia, a trip where he caught the travel bug. Since then, he and Ryan have traveled to Mexico, St. Lucia, Portugal, and several cities across America. With an appreciation for a well-prepared meal, Chilly was not embarrassed to tell you that he wasn't a cook, but in fact a food critic. Ryan loved to learn new recipes and Chilly loved to try them. Always one to take care of everyone in his life around him, he also enjoyed self-care, with a particular focus on his nails and skin. Chilly was a popular creator on social media, showcasing his love of all things plant related.
