ABOUT ME

I've done some couchsurfing before and am introducing Lyndal to the experience... that's why the comments and so on relate to me below...
Am relaxed guy with oblique sense of humour and occasional cooking skills. I organize locations for film shoots of all descriptions back in Australia and am a creative type with a hankering to make photographs...

... and Hi! I'm Lyndal and pretty curious about this whole couch surfing thing. I'm pretty relaxed, slightly cheeky and love a good belly laugh. Which I guess, explains why I'm a children's TV producer...

PHILOSOPHY

honesty

L: When dealing with yourself use your head, with others, your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

John: Films: Kubrick, Lynch, Haneke, PT Anderson and a range of other cinema... 'Children of Men' was great... I wrote reviews for a local mag a few years back... Music: 80's and new electronic... Books: White, Coetzee, I'm a grazer these days though and need to knuckle down and get my teeth sunk in to some great books on this next trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been pelted with pigment by 100 Indian children in the annual Holi festival in India. Organized a brothel for the cast of the movie 'Jackass' while filming in Sydney...long story...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about art and film, would like to know a lot more about literature in general and about various formative episodes of human history. Again... travel's good for that!
