I am a photographer from Barcelona, Spain who just moved to Santa Barbara, CA after many many years traveling the world. My work: www.olivergregoryphoto.com IG: @olivergregoryphoto Enjoying the nature, the outdoors, and the peace this place provides for now, but also looking forward to get back on the road soon for new adventures🐒 I know Santa Barbara is ridiculously expensive, so you are welcome to crash if you are looking for a place. My place is reaaally reaaally small, therefore I’m only hosting for 2 nights max. I’ll probably be busy working, but happy to hang out if I have the time. I can also recommend good beaches, hiking spots, and all the good local stuff👍🏻 ALSO, ONLY VEGAN FOOD IN MY HOUSE, PLEASE🌱🙏🏻

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Meeting locals is important to me when I travel and I think CS makes that possible.

My Interests
I like any kind of sport in general, but I enjoy being outdoors the most. I feel most of my inner energy comes from nature, so being immersed in the wild makes me feel connected and makes me feel in peace. Other than that I enjoy long hikes, camping out, swimming in the ocean and jumping under waterfalls, cycling, taking pictures of strangers, handstands, flying trapeze, capoeira, slackline, yoga, acroyoga, rollerskating, drinking a nice cup of coffee, a good workout, cooking a nice meal, dancing, or just listening to my favorite music
