Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to get the local knowledge, make friends, and really experience a city outside of the tourist traps.

And for visitors to Sydney, I'd love to show visitors what I love about Sydney that's not covered in the guidebooks.
I often think visitors only experience a very backpacker-centric bubble of the city, before leaving with an empty wallet and I'd like to help you avoid that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an avid music listener, I'm always trying to discover new interesting artists so my tastes are pretty scattered. My last.fm profile will give you an idea of what I've been listening to lately

I like films directed by Kubrick, Lynch, Linklater, etc.

I don't read as much as a I should but some of the amazing books I've read lately have been Lolita, Crime and Punishment, and the non-fiction "Nothing to Envy"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Europe on a whim without any kind of plan. Stayed for four months mostly choosing my next destination on impulse.

Explored an abandoned warehouse in Germany and hid from the cops when they showed up

Got asked to star in a Bollywood production in Mumbai, only to get food poisoning before the shoot and spewed for eight hours straight in an actors' trailer
