About Me

Sydney Rome is actually my old DJ name, and although I retired a few years ago, online I'm still ubiquitously known as Sydney or Syd. I usually live in Spoleto (Central Italy) in the summer, and A Coruña (on the northwest of Spain) the rest of the year, providing I'm not travelling of course, and to be honest I tend to travel quite a lot.

If you're visiting Umbria or Galicia, feel free to contact me for advice or travel tips, and if your timing is good, perhaps even a couch to surf. I have a lot more space and a much better set-up for hosting in Italy, but if you're visiting the northwest of Spain, or just about to finish the 'Camino de Santiago', I'll see what I can do ,))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

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

A big YES to all three, but let's not forget about Video Games, they're 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

Trying to learn more languages, recipes and life hacks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Loads of travel tales and tips + some personal insights into why I chose to settle down in both Italy AND Spain.
