About Me

I'm a South African photographer currently living, working & studying in Helsinki. My dream is literally to travel the World documenting people, cultures, environmental issues and telling stories through, and I believe couch surfing can play an integral role in that process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really keen to keep in touch with people and cultures from all over the World while supporting the "gift commodity" ideology I strongly believe the World should be adopting.

When I was 17 I was adopted in to the homes and lives of 3 incredible Thai families whilst on Rotary exchange in Thailand. I realise how much good that did for me then, and hope that I can pay it forward as much as possible while meeting other people and making contacts from other corners of the Globe.
