Thanks for reading my profile!

2 months ago, I was in a graduate office job doing a 9-5 in London (which turned out to be 9-9). However in my spare time, I loved to pick up my camera and make films. This included a variety of things, from corporate promo videos to hip hop music videos and even filming on the streets of London for an Indian magician from Mumbai for an online entertainment company.

After a fair few projects, I quit my day job and went full time into Videography. Now I'm hoping to combine my love for filming with my love for travel, using my skills to help me get by to travel the world and meet lots of different people.

Currently, I'm moving to Australia, where I have some work lined up for a few travel companies, filming their tour packages. These are (limited) expenses paid only and I'm really going to struggle and be on a shoestring.

However, if the filming and editing goes well for this one company, they've said there's an opportunity to film for their tours around the world, so by hosting me you'll seriously by helping me making my dreams come true.

In return for your kindness, I'd be happy to make you a video. Please see below for more info :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What really matters the most to me about travelling is the people. Couchsurfing seems a great way to meet people.

I'm looking to surf at the moment, and also host when I am able to.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm love hearing different music tastes and I have a particular love for music videos. Personally, I'm big into what I would describe as quirky hip hop: G-Eazy, Skizzy Mars, Chiddy Bang, Lupe Fiasco, Childish Gambino...

Favourite film: Catch me if you can.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a video for you! :) This may be a promotional video if you own a business, are part of a community, society or sports team etc. Perhaps your into music and would like a music video or filming for a live event. I'd be happy to film and edit to create you a film to earn my keep. I carry kit with me (everything I own is with me and I'm now technically homeless - I have a tripod, a suitcase of clothes and a suitcase of camera gear).
