Overview
About Me
Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, I found a passion for film photography and documenting the day to day life of me and my friends on film, developing the images and creating prints in the dark room.
After finishing high school, I studied commercial photography at University, which led me to being a photographer in the Canadian Rockies.
Following a few years living in Canada, I have pursued issues I feel passionate about creating photo essays on topics.
Recently I have completed photo essays on Palestine, life in the Kootenay mountains and life in the Snowy Mountains in Australia.
I would love to meet locals and document life across the world!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I joined Couchsurfing because to me, to fully experience a place, it is the locals and people who call that place home that are the key to it. Going to landmarks and leaving to me is not what I want from my travels. I want to meet and talk to the people and know about their day to day life, what is authentic to them!
