About Me

Sydney Rome is actually my old DJ name, and although I retired a few years ago, a lot of people still know me as Sydney or Syd. I'm mainly based in A Coruña (Spain) and Spoleto (Italy), so if you're passing through either the region of Umbria or Galicia, contact me for travel tips + advice, and if your timing is good, perhaps even a couch to surf.

P.S: I'm organising a small CouchCrash in Ferrol, Spain in late August: https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/a-ferrol-crash-ferrol + helping to organise a really BIG CouchCrash in Rome, Italy in early October: https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/ave-roma-a-roman-crash-2025-10-09-8911807

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to swap stories and travel advice with other travellers + organise CS events all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

A big YES to all three, but let's not forget about Video Games, which for me are an integral part of our mainstream culture as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to survive the 80's and 90's, which most would agree, were the definitive decades for Clubbing, Dance Parties and Raves. Alas quite a few of my friends didn't.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always up for learning new life hacks, and I guess I can also teach you a thing or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plenty of travel tales and the benefit of 20 years of CouchSurfing experience.
