About Me

I studied communications and am a freelance photographer and videographer. I have a website that hosts my portfolio of creative work. landandsee.photography

I work for a VFX company in Montreal and live with my girlfriend Courtney who is also on couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling the world and what better way to meet people than with couchsurfing. I'd like to host some more once I return home.

Interests

I love cinema, my favourite directors are Paul Thomas Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Jeff Nichols, and Wes Anderson.

I also like soccer/football and my favourite teams are Tottenham Hotspur and FC Bayern München. I like travelling and seek the quieter places away from cities to enjoy nature. I love filmmaking, photography. I shoot 35mm film where ever I go.
