jamie, a human and artist very involved in collecting and sharing music, currently based in naarm (aka melb)

have been involved in music as a full time project since around 2019, having spent the previous two years focusing on music production and audio-based projects, such as earplug design, wearable clothing (socks) creation and distribution
I used to live in the corporate world, and had a sort of awakening in 2016 and left it behind (gradually) to engage more seriously with music.
Around this time I also decided to remove alcohol from my life, and this was one of the best things I could have done. 6 years emancipated this year and don’t imagine coming back to it.

most of my time currently gets filled by running an online record store specialising in rare and obscure gems (records), as well as working with film, photography, design, and playing music as a DJ. also love to connect with nature, go camping, be within resonance with the schuman frequency

I really enjoy couchsurfing at times, even though at the moment I am experiencing exponential growth in my music life, and have a lot of people that want my attention at any one time, limiting my ability to host as regularly as I would like.
I’ve always had a 100% response rate, but sometimes the requests are about 10+ a day, and for someone who is running their own operation and as much stuff as i’m doing, it may take me some time to respond to requests - please don’t feel offended if I can’t host you due to my time & space constraints, and pump those genuine requests out to other hosts in the area, you’ll find someone if you send enough relevant requests.

looking to surf with & host guests who are self-aware and are open to vege/vegan diets as well as outlooks, considering compassion for all beings and practicing non-violence with themselves and others.

Future guests would also do well to be self-sufficient, since sometimes while hosting, I might have duties to take care of, sometimes I could invite you, and you could help/enjoy and other times, need to be alone.

depending on the vibe you’d be able to be at my house without me, it’s happened before and there are a lot of plants that need regular water anyway, so ☺️😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

want to connect with kindred spirits, enjoy life, learn & communicate, challenge self-imposed and societal values and limitations, experiment with Nudisme, consentially and at the right moments with the right sympathetic resonance.

would like to discuss political and sociological theories and hunches, discuss spirituality and sex-positivity sexuality, and how all of these branches come from the same tree, whose seed lives inside us all.

far more interested in a sharing economy - energy sharing is the future, rather than the likes of capitalism.

very tidy, friendly, always have nice music to share with you, & my cooking skills come recommended + give great hugs.

Interests

love learning about human dynamics, how you relate to music and the world, - your experience with meditation - can teach - also love to separate my body from my mind, when am dancing.

some good advice for would-be guests: talk a bit about your host and refer to which part of their profile resonated or moved you the most, mention why you want to stay with them, and tell them what you think you would do while you stay. keep it genuine, as not everybody should host everybody, but if the vibe is right, and there’s respect, you’ll be making tons of cs homies in no time.

tldr: keep it real & write (can also use voice-to-text) genuine, unique messages, and you’ll get hosted more often.
