About Me
Hi I’m Lisa
As a passionate photographer and foodie, I’ve always loved the idea of living locally and making the most of what’s around me. I’m proud to call Perth home – a city I’ve lived in for over 20 years, and I’m constantly surprised by how much there still is to discover. In 2021, I started sharing my photos and recommendations on social media, and that’s how Perth Local was born. Since then, the community has grown to over 160,000 followers on Instagram and 40,000 on TikTok.
Perth was recently ranked the sixth most liveable city in the world, and I couldn’t agree more. Through my guides and website, I hope to help others uncover what makes this city and the broader state of WA such an incredible place to live or visit.
