About Me

ABOUT ME

I like making musical sounds, reading books, listening to things and writing. I also like growing vegetables, eating, and cooking. I talk a lot about all of this.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only just joined CS myself, but was motivated to do so by the wonderful experiences I had couchsurfing with friends in Spain, Italy and Latvia.

Interests

  • writing
  • books
  • cooking
  • reading

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not very good with favourites, but I like
The Princess Bride and Der Himmel über Berlin;
Kurt Vonnegut, Heart of Darkness, The Unbearable Lightness of Being (like every other 20something yr old), Günter Grass, Everything is Illuminated, American Psycho, and Hemingway made me like short stories.
I watched the Hepburn/Bogart 'Sabrina' the other night, and am currently reading some Zizek and Badiou, and about 7 novels for uni.

MELBOURNE BANDS YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO (amongst others):
Mum Smokes, The Ancients, The Lucksmiths, Love Connection, The Motifs, Crayon Fields, Woollen Kits, The Parking Lot Experiments, The UV Race, Yama Boy, Scott and Charlene's Wedding, Panel of Judges, Milk Teddy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The other day I stepped on a snail as it was crawling towards my newly planted zucchini plant. It made me sad.
