I'm a professional travel photographer and Instagrammer who's currently exploring the world.

This summer I'll be exploring Western Canada and the province of Quebec. In June I'll be traveling with my friend Sylvie and in July with my girlfriend Delphine.

I share my work online on my instagram account to my 300,000 followers: @lebackpacker www.instagram.com/lebackpacker and on my website: www.johanlolos.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals is the best way to get good advices about the places I'm visiting. I'm a big fan of slow traveling, when I visit a place I like to take my time. A year ago I was road tripping in New Zealand, and I discovered the ski resort of Wanaka. I fell in love with the place and I settled there for 7 months, and of course I invited many people to stay with me during that time, most of them being travelers and backpackers :)

Interests

Outdoor, photography, hiking, waking up early to shoot sunrise, staying up all night to shoot stars and the milky way. I love mountains, but I love the coast as well. I love fog and cloudy days but I love a good winter sunshine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After I graduated in 2013, I decided to start a new life, so I took my backpack, bought a one-way ticket for Australia, and I became a travel photographer. Now I have 200K+ people who follow my adventures all around the world. Leaving Belgium to travel the world changed my life in so many ways !
