Hey I'm Jess, born and raised in Sydney :) I'm 21 and studying law and American Studies at the University of Sydney. I study a lot and work as a paralegal at a small firm. On the weekends I work for the promoters of a weekly club night which plays house and techno music, or catch a live gig. I also like going to new bars with friends, and film photography. In the summer I love going to the beach with friends.

I love travelling, exploring, and meeting new people. I hope we become good friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals and make more friends! I think travelling is the most fun that way. It's such a good opportunity to meet someone who I normally don't meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music - I really enjoy all kinds of electronic and dance music! Especially the producers in Australia and Europe. I also like indie rock and enjoy watching live music. I really love discovering new music too - especially if I've never heard of it before.

Favourite movies - The X-Men series. I like all movies by Sofia Coppola, such as Lost in Translation and the Virgin Suicides. I also love sci-fi movies, and independent movies such as Boyhood, My Own Private Idaho, and Dazed and Confused.

Favourite books - Definitely Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a van with 3 friends for $800 and drove down the West Coast of USA.
