HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I participate by bringing a cheery disposition and a slice of my australian culture to other people when they host me, and when I get home I intend to host as many people as possible to show them that the west coast of Australia is equally as good as the east coast! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Everyone I have stayed with has been most definitely awesome, despite that now being about half a decade ago. They welcomed me (and my sister, who I was travelling with at the time) into their homes like old friends, shared their stories and views on the world with us and helped us to see their corner of the world in their eyes. This is exactly what I'm looking for from couch surfing - local opinions and knowledge and new friends! I can't believe I travelled for a year without using CS before, it seems ludicrous not to now.

1984 and Catch 22 are two of my all time favourite books. Most music Noisia release or are apart of I love. The same goes for Black Sun Empire and Telemetrik. I'm also a fan of music from Jeff Buckley to Opeth to Pink Floyd and Kings of Leon and DJ Shadow to name a few. Bill Hicks, it should be noted, is a hero. A dead one maybe, but a hero none the less. I think you can tell a lot about my sense of humour from the TV I watch: Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Sopranos, Flight of the Conchords and The Mighty Boosh are all favourites.
