Overview
About Me
I'm a strong believer that the 9-5 work life is insanity. Everything in life has to flow towards adventure, which has led me to becoming a cinematographer. I'm fortunate enough for it to have taken me all around Australia, the Philippines and across Europe, and am heading to Tuscany in September to film a wedding in an old medieval city.
Through my camera I explore the world, and meet a plethora of colourful characters along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I travel because it challenges who I am as a person, it forces me to constantly push on the edge of my comfort zone. It's the people you meet and the adventures you go on together that I love. I want to dive head first into different cultures as a local and experience it first hand.
Interests
At the moment I'm really into nature and science doco's, the word is mindbogglingly brilliant!
This has lead to the rekindling of my romance with sculpture. I love being creative, through whichever medium that is, but working with clay for me is by far my favourite. There is something to be said about working physically with your hands.
Obviously traveling and going on adventures to new and exciting places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This film is probably the work I am the most proud of. It is a film of the wedding of a brilliant couple who I became great friends with after. Being able to share in such a personal and monumental day in a persons life is such an amazing privilege.
