I was born and raised in Freo and have been in love with this place since I first set foot on the earth.
I'm am avid history fanatic with a full-time job as an electrician. Recently come back from 4 months of traveling around Europe and experiencing the best of Guruwalk!
The nooks and crannies are filled with my own personal history, at the end of the tour I send a list of all must do's that only locals know.
