About Me

I’m Sydney-based, working in tech (remote) and pretty easygoing - I like good chats, laughing at random things, and keeping the vibe relaxed. I’m social but not intense: I enjoy meeting people and hanging out, and I also appreciate downtime and personal space.

I’m new to Couchsurfing so I’m starting simple: clear communication, mutual respect, and a comfortable, safe home vibe. If you’re friendly, tidy, and considerate, we’ll get along great.

I’m into: casual walks, coffee, food spots, beach/harbour sunsets, and spontaneous “let’s check this place out” moments (without overplanning).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people from around the world and share a relaxed Sydney experience. I like cultural exchange that feels natural - swapping stories, grabbing food, walking around a local area, or just chilling at home after a day out.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste depends on the mood:
Chill / vibey: lo-fi, indie, R&B, electronic
Energy: pop, hip-hop, dance
Anytime: classic throwbacks + random guilty pleasures

I like books that are either: interesting (psychology / culture / travel stories / biographies)
or addictive fiction I can’t put down.
Tell me one book that actually stuck with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once pushed myself to do a big hike even though I wasn’t sure I could. It taught me confidence comes after you start.
