Hello! My name is Jackson, I'm a photographer from North Vancouver, Canada. Since graduating high school in 2020, I've been traveling and working my way around the world, taking photos and gathering incredible life experiences along the way.

I joined couchsurfing with my family when I was 13 years old. Since 2015, I have met over 250 Couchsurfers from almost 40 different countries, all of whom have allowed me to gain new perspectives and experience their cultures in ways I could never have imagined.

I know I haven't got many references yet, but my couchsurfing experience is extensive. If you'd like to read my family's references, please refer to my mom, Wendy Waller's profile. You can find it by going through my personal references.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I feel like travel is so much more than just seeing new places and checking items off a list - for me, it's about making connections with people and experiencing different cultures. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories/perspectives, and Couchsurfing allows me to do that in a unique and meaningful way... through this platform I've been connected with some of the most interesting and generous people I've ever met, many of whom I'm still lucky enough to call friends.
