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 22 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 225,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
Through my social media channels, guides and website, I hope to help you uncover what makes this city and the broader state of WA such an incredible place to live or visit.
