Hi, My name is Louise

I am a little bit of a hippy at heart who grew up in the city and loves adventure.
I have learned so far in my life that generosity of others is limitless.
It is often the people who have the least who give the most.

PHILOSOPHY

There is beauty in everything, you just need to know where to look.

I know this a cliche philosophy, but as a photographer it gives me a fresh perspective. Even dark things can be beautiful.. food for thought

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would really like to show travelers around Sydney =) . Every time i meet a traveler I will give he/she awesome tips and take them to hard-to-reach places in my car because its these local secrets of Sydney that would be a shame to keep to myself.

Because I am a photographer I know all the most beautiful look out points ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a sucker for Gangster movies. I grew up with 5 brothers and they were my influence on my movie taste.
Exception to that Genre include: 'Science of Sleep' and 'Moonrise Kingdom' If you haven't watched them you need to.

I like classic rock, punk, folk, acoustic music. I have an eclectic taste ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Italy for a year with my family when I was ten years old and I attended a public school. It was pretty much an adventure. I was thrown in the deep end, having to learn to speak, communicate and make friends with these little kids who didn't speak English. I learnt the language the hard way but i learnt fast. I have tons of good memories.

With my friends we like to travel to new parts of Australia we haven't seen before. I particularly loved Byron Bay, everyone there is so easy going, It would be the perfect place to settle down and live. Cairns is awesome too.
