Hi there!

I'm Jack. A young, traveling landscape and portrait photographer based in New Brunswick, Canada. I'm originally from the UK and moved to Canada when I was 12. Since then, I've attended school and started a career in travel writing, with an occasional foray into politics and international relations, which is another passion of mine. Now, I make my living as a photographer. (I'd be more than happy to take photos of you and your family!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling in the summer of 2019, across Canada using VIA Rail, and would love to meet some cool people along the way, and maybe crash on their couch, if that's cool with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a published travel writer, having been published in Australia's Outer Edge magazine twice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned a great deal about the Middle East during the last several years of independent study of the region and I would be happy to share that knowledge with you. Additionally, I've been a photographer for several years and could definitely impart that knowledge as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My photographic skills. I am more than happy to photograph you and your family, or just you. If you're looking for some portrait shots, let me know and we'll go shoot and explore the place where you live. :)
