I'm a freelance photographer based in Geneva, Switzerland. My dream is to travel nearly full-time and doing images on the way. You can find my pictures on Instagram (www.instagram.com/zellersamuel) and on my website (www.samuelzeller.ch)

I'm also the editor of Fujifeed, a magazine and community made for Fujifilm photographers and an ambassador for Fujifilm cameras.

Before working as a freelancer I was a designer. I eventually realized that sitting in a chair in an office for more than 40 hours a week wasn't for me...

In my freetime I do a lot of photography, I ride my road bike, swim, climb (bouldering) see friends, go listen to some music (I have very broad tastes) and just enjoy nature (I enjoy hiking a lot). I'm a very open minded person.

I love architecture, design, arts, music and everything that relates to nature or humans.

If you're looking for interesting conversations and for someone to show you the best places in the city then I'm your guy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to save as much as possible when I travel and I love to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to make a list, I never had a TV so I went to the cinema a lot instead. The last movies that made my cry was "Her" and also "The Red Turtle" the first one has a beautiful photography, the second is just a marvelous display of what you can do with illustration, sound and no dialogs. I love almost all genres of music, from classical to techno, as long as it makes me move (emotionally or physically) I like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've got my first photography book called 'Botanical' published by an editor (Hoxton Mini Press from London) and sold all over the world. You can view it here: https://www.hoxtonminipress.com/collections/books/products/botanical

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give tips in photography, photo retouching, graphic design and social media marketing. I can also help with french. I'll share the culture of my country, talk about all the subjects you want and cook.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know Geneva by heart since I was born there and lived there all my life, there's plenty of places that I can show you (touristic and non-touristic ones) and shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and other things that I can recommend you.

I'm always up for a good conversation about architecture, design, music, films, art etc.. Basically anything that is creative or about social aspects, but please don't talk too much about politics.

I can also take portraits/pictures of you.
