About Me

Hello, I hope you're doing well.

I'm an open dude from Sydney, Australia who prefers the company of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically, been raised in Sydney my whole life. You see a lot in this city, all these cultures coming together. Honestly I've still yet to experience it all here.

I want to see things I otherwise would've never seen. Sitting on my ass and wasting time gets me down. Especially when I'm overseas.

Rather than visiting a city, I really want to delve into it and get behind the usual tourist sights. Meet and connect with the locals, find a real interaction. I really want to meet people, possibly be inspired by them and hopefully cross paths again.

Interests

Radiohead is important. James Blake, Tribe called Quest, FKA Twigs, Grimes, Death Grips, Crystal Castles, My Bloody Valentine, Interpol, Victor Tsoi, all genres really because good music is everywhere.

Gangster films by Scorsese, love films by Wong Kar Wai, countless foreign films, all genres really

Philip K. Dick, Gibson, Camus, Murakami, Fitzgerald, Kafka, Fleming, Nabokov, Orwell, Vonnegut, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy...

Oh and I love Sopranos

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At a beautiful Sydney beach, seeing distant thunderstorms coming in from the sea at night, with flashing lightning above the clouds.

Another is night diving with sharks

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you an Australian perspective from an Asian point of view, a best of both worlds scenario.

I'm all about experience sharing so I'll want to hear about where you're at, where you've been. I'll do my best to keep up!
