Sobre mí

I have recently finished my studies at Monash University with two degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Science. I am currently residing in Berlin but will be returning to Melbourne soon.

I was working for a renewable energy company in Melbourne for 9 months working on wind turbines and hydro electric plants all over Australia and flipping burgers on the side to cover the bills ;) I also DJ and run a club night and some other parties with a group of friends, DJs and producers in Melbourne.

I love to travel, meet new people and experience everything a new place has to offer. When I was 18 I studied for 6 months in Kuala Lumpur and travelled throughout Malaysia (it has some AMAZING islands with surfing, diving, hiking and eating) and to other parts of South-East Asia namely Thailand and The Philippines. In 2014 I spent 3 months exploring India from its southern beaches to the mountains in the North and trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas (hardest but best thing I've ever done!). More recently I've travelled with my girlfriend to Jordan, Israel and Croatia on my way to spend 2 months in Germany and on to Mexico for a month. When back in Melbourne I'll hopefully continue working in renewable energy (doing my bit where I can).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great initiative for people travelling to meet like minded people and vice versa. It provides a comfortable platform to arrange and organise places to stay all over the world.

Música, películas y libros

My music taste is quite broad but definitely leans towards dance music. I love old NY and Chicago house music, Detroit techno and electro but also extends to disco, italo disco, older german EBM, new beat and proto-techno. If i'm sitting around with friends I'm happy to listen to anything thoughtful and well constructed, definitely not the mainstream although it does have its shining moments.

In terms of movies I like its basically an endless list but may as well name a few:
Momento
The Lobster
Wild Tales
Natural Born Killers
La Haine
Leon the Professional
The Raid and The Raid 2
Old Boy
No Country For Old Men
Brothers

Basically good cinema but I love my guilty pleasures as well ie Anchorman, Dodgeball, Zoolander etc (I'm not too fussy..)

In terms of Books I am a huge Murakami fan and have read several of his works, I'm currently reading the 1Q84 collection. Otherwise I like older classics such as 1984, Crime and Punishment, The Age of Reasoning, On the Road etc.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I climbed to Annapurna Base Camp when I went trekking with two friends in Nepal. At night it was -30 degrees celsius outside and it was hard to breathe (4500m above sea level). We climbed to the top one morning when there was nobody else around from Machhapuchhre Base camp and it was clear blue skies. You could see some of the highest mountains in the world all around you and a 2000 ft drop if you took another step. We all got butt naked on the top of the base camp, proud of the climb we'd done that took us more than a week of walking 10 hours a day. It was pretty amazing..

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Happy to take in anything people have to offer, see below for what I can pass on to others.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am more than happy to share insights into my music, which really envelopes my entire life and is something I'm proud to say I know a lot about. I love swapping experiences and stories I've had travelling, definitely have some unique and sometimes crazy stories from places I've been and also of home in Australia (Melbourne is such a great city btw). I studied Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Astrophysics in my time at university so I can also spend some time blowing minds with space facts. I'm pretty much Neil deGrasse Tyson. I've spent the last 9 months in Melbourne working for a wind and hydro energy developer which has been a massive learning curve and I love talking big picture environmental issues and politics (if that's your thing). Apart from I'm also pretty handy in the kitchen ;)
