I'm a Perth born and raised male with a passion for taking photos. I've been living in Zürich, Switzerland for the last 7 years. I've been slowly making my way around Europe taking photos and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people and also to get hosted in various locations. My idea is to meet local people and see how things really are :)

Interests

Photography! I take lots of photos, not just tourist snaps, but everything from sport to portraiture to street photography!
