I used to work as a guitar player on board of a cruise ship.
Now I'm a freelance photographer and travel the world with my camera.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is an amazing community, a great way to meet extraordinary people, and it helps to explore the world with local's help, as well as share my own travel stories and experience.

Interests

After a few years working onboard a cruise ship my girlfriend Melanie and I decided to travel on our own, staying in each country for a long time to explore and understand it's culture and lifestyle.

We both enjoy exploring things, tasting new food, going on new adventures and meeting new people.

I work as a travel/freelance photographer. You can check some of my photography here: www.instagram.com/okisaway/
