I am a documentary photography and my job is to tell stories in different cultures, communities and lifestyles. I believe that creativity is born when we meet people or ideas which are completely different than our own. I have done photographic projects in Mexico, USA, Colombia, Bangladesh, India and the UK.

I am currently studying a Masters on Photojournalism and Documentary photography in University of the Arts of London.

My website is: www.saavedravisual.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurf because I think that when you visit a place that is not your home it is very difficult to have an understanding of the local people and I believe that couchsurf brings you this possibility. To connect with the person whilst getting to know a new and amazing place.
