ABOUT ME

I work to fund my passions of travelling and photography and I flit from working for a year or two to taking a year off to travel and indulge in more creative pursuits.

I'm currently trying to sell my childhood toys and any other unwanted items and hoping to travel to Cambodia and maybe Laos.

My favourite destinations so far:

Havana, Cuba
Pipa, Brazil
Fraser Island, Australia
Long Hai, Vietnam
Ko Samet, Thailand
Shinoussa Island, Greece
Melbourne, Australia
Tongariro, New Zealand
Kyoto, Japan

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to try and make the world a better place, I hope to leave something positive behind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with 4 people and hosted about 9 and each one has been a good experience.

Interests

Photography takes up most of my spare time, I'll take photos of anything; landscapes, people, abstracts, black and white, colour. I often exhibit and sell photographs but mainly do it for fun.

I love seeing any form of photography (and art in general) so I'm always visiting galleries. Luckily I have lots to choose from where I live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making friends with a dolphin whilst swimming with a pod of them whilst in New Zealand. In order for a dolphin to keep returning you have to entertain it, to keep it interested. I sang "We all live in a yellow submarine" to one who seemed to enjoy it and came back numerous times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm able to teach any aspect of photography including portraits, studio work and travel photos. If you don't need teaching and just fancy taking photos together then that's cool too.

I'm also able to teach English.
