Here is my partners profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/lotus-appel?action=show&controller=user_profiles

I'm an Aussie who is living in the beautiful city of Melbourne.

I love learning. And everything around us, from the simplest to the most complex, has something to offer. I enjoy listening to extreme-metal while falling asleep, simply watching people in crowded places and the loneliness of beautiful spots in nature. I love conversations where my ideas on life are challenged and discussions that are so meaningless they remind me why existence is such a joyful thing. I love pushing my physical limits til I reach ecstatic mental states and I love chilling back on the couch for days watching the stupidest of comedies. I feel so comfortable in social gatherings where I meet new people for weeks and I feel just as well in periods of great silence, all alone, but not lonely.

It's not simple to describe yourself, everybody is so beautifully complex and for that reason, everybody has something to offer. Meeting me would have to be the best way to find out 'about me', and maybe in the process, I can learn more 'about me' to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everybody has something to offer, you just don't know what it is until you meet them. Taking the opportunity for any encounter is an action of great value and what a bloody great way Couchsurfing is to meet people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I thoroughly enjoy Music. It's a passion of mine. Especially back at home and periods where I am not moving so much I run back endulging heavily in this world of vibrations. I am a HUGE fan of extreme metal and also thoroughly enjoy Classical music. I also love psychdellic rock, garage-punk rock, old school blues(good ol' delta blues) and modern rock blues, psytrance, techno.. Ahh what a beautiful world of sound to explore!

I really enjoy reading as well. Anything that expands my mind is always worth my time. I enjoy reading philosophy, history, health science and physics.
And just as much I enjoy the adventures that many fiction books have taken me on. Tolkein, G. Martin, Tom Robbins.

I LOVE the world of comedy.. Anchorman, Workaholics, It's Always Sunny.
But really, if you can justify it, TV and Movies are such a good way to waste time and any genre has potential to impress me; from the classic mind-fuck movies of Matrix to the romance-drama movies of the 70's Soviet Union era.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Mongolia I bought a horse and traveled through the steppe for over a month surviving, camping and living with nomad families with no prior horse riding experience.
