Hi, I'm Dom! ~ Photo taker & Video maker
I guess I'm not meant to write my whole life story here so here's a few things you should know. I'm from Sydney in the land Down Under; currently living the dream working my way across this globe. I may or may not have a coffee problem so if you ever want to hear the rest of my life story I'd be more than happy share over a cup of coffee or 3. I'm also not shy of beer and bring nothing but good vibes so crack a few cold ones open and we can become new best friends 😂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want something different, hear me out...
For most of my travels I had always stayed at hostels which was great fun and a good way to meet people but it wasn't until recently that I've had the chance to stay with friends at their homes all around the world. I quickly found these becoming my favourite parts of my travels since it was super cool to find all the tips from a local and have a more unique and personal experience. I figured joining CS I would get the best of both world's befriending new people and have the unique local/personal experience.

Interests

I love being creative especially doing anything photography/videography related. Those who know me well would tell you how much I love being outdoors going for hikes and going on spontaneous adventures but also enjoy sitting back and having a coffee or cheeky bevy... Did someone say bowling?! Yeh I'm sort of into that too 🤙

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music except I general stay away from heavy metal and country but hey I'm open minded so I do enjoy it now and then too 🤙

I watch a lot of movies but since I'm indecisive I can't quite pick specific ones to name but I love action comedy any day of the week or anything Christopher Nolan has directed, that man is my hero.

As for books I honestly don't read too much but I genuinely wish I did.. the last book I was reading was called 'the subtle art of not giving a fuck', it was a great book but I never got to finish it since I forgot it on a flight. Been meaning to get my hands on another copy ever since but still working on it.
(Update: a good friend of mine surprised me with another copy as a going away present when I left Toronto and I have since finished it; it's an amazing book!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got to see the northern lights in both Norway and Iceland! Never thought I'd ever see them especially coming from Australia (Took some really cool photos of them too!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach, learn and share anything creative especially anything photography or video related.

I'm a good listener too and love hearing and learning what other people have to share whether it be travel stories or tips whilst living on the go.

Please teach me any local slang or language and I'll teach you some Aussie slang in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to think that I can bring good vibes and share interesting stories from my travels/life. I also have a whole lot of photos and videos I've taken from my trips that I love sharing.
