Overview
About Me
Qué tal? I’m trying out the app after a few years away, and I’m excited to hang with everyone, start going to the meetups again, and just generally get back into the scene! I’m doing a long Latin America trip (north to south atm) and I’m keen to improve my Spanish and learn as much as I can about every place I visit!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet interesting people and learn more about the cultures and communities I visit than I would staying in a hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love rock music (almost all of it!), deep house, instrumental guitar/folk and a bit of everything else except country. I vibe with some of the classic movies like Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now, and Villeneuve, Tarantino and Del Toro make some amazing stuff too. My favourite book at the moment is Station Eleven, but I’m enjoying the Wayfarer series and loved The Night Circus, Neuromancer, and anything by Octavia Butler and Ursula K. Le Guin. For non fiction I’m really into Albert Camus, Foucault and I’m interested in Bookchin’s social ecology.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hitchhiked through every state and territory in Australia (except SA 😕) including the Great Central Road; the longest shortcut in Oz, a dirt road from Uluru to WA🤘😃
