Hi! I'm David, a 24 year university graduate currently travelling through Europe and Japan. I lived in Mexico for 6 months and have been travelling through Europe, Central America, South East Asia and a few other locations.

I love to play music and always enjoy conversations about people, politics and society. I also love helping people improve their english and love learning new languages myself. I studied politics, anthropology and Spanish in university, so if you know any of those things, that would be cool!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet new people and share new experiences with them. I think couchsurfing is a great way to introduce someone to a city and make them feel welcome.

Interessen

I really love to travel and meet people from different cultures. I think there is a lot to learn from the ways in which different people live differently. I believe it is important to be open-minded when discussing the "big issues" and love to have open conversation where I can learn something.

Art in all forms also inspires me. Music is and has been a very big part of my life and I cannot imagine my life without it. I love to be creative musically and want to start recording and releasing music myself.

I am also very interested in language and the way in which it affects cultures and societies. I enjoy learning new things about another language and am always shocked to find such similarities between the way we all talk!

Apart from that, I like to read, but find that I don't spend enough time reading these days. I also enjoy philosophy. Food is also a big interest of mine! I love to eat delicious food, although sadly I am not a chef.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Techno and House music - I am a DJ in Melbourne and play in some clubs. I love dancing and being part of a festival.

I also like lots of other types of music. Some of my favourite bands/artists are Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but also The Beatles, Nine Inch Nails, Animal Collective, My Bloody Valentine, The Flaming Lips. I am an avid music fan and will listen to (almost) anything!

Surrealist/psy-fi literature - I used to read a lot and have read many great books. At the moment I like reading sci-fi and surrealist literature. Authors such as Kafka, Philip K. Dick and Alister Crowley are my favourites.

Film - I am not so big on film, but some of my favourite films are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Studio Ghibli films, Lord of The Rings, Star Wars.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

When I was studying in Mexico, I decided to go to Burning Man 3 days before it started! I had no ticket or anything, just decided on a whim. It was pretty crazy, but I had a feeling that it would work out.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am fluent in English and nearly fluent in Spanish, well enough to correct people's grammer and teach words :)

I also speak a tiny bit of German and a little bit of Japanese (I stopped learning 6 years ago after highschool.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

A story and a laugh. I love to show people music and talk about places they've been and their own country and homes. Everyone is different and we can all learn from each other.

I also want to host people in Australia when I come home this year, so if you're heading to Australia, let me know! I will be more than happy to have you stay in my house.
