CURRENT MISSION

I just got back from a 2 year round the world adventure and have relocated back down to Melbourne to continue studying and just hang out in general.

I'm pretty keen on exploring new places around Melbourne and just got myself a bike so always up for a cycle. I'm a fan of live music, pretty much any cuisine or checking out local events.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet, to learn and to share.

Interests

Music, festivals, engaging conversations, reading, learning, meeting people, new experiences, diving into a new culture and just hanging out in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

Anytime I go to look at this section it seems out of date. The easiest way to see and overview of my taste in music http://www.last.fm/user/Teslacoil33

I recently caught Beatlemania...

But generally right now pysche rock is my Jam, listening to a lot of Pond, Gum, Tame Impala, King Gizzard and that whole scene. Generally I'm all about the 90's Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead , Rage Against The Machine etc.

When I was a bit younger I was right into metal and that still holds a place in my heart Metallica, Opeth, Children of Bodom
Top 40 music tends to make my ears bleed.
I always enjoy listening to weird or experimental stuff so throw that my way too!
As an anglophone I am aware of the severe limitations this poses to my intake of all art forms and I would like to overcome this also.

Movies
Here's an unstructured blob:

Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Snatch, Anything Tarantino, Kubrick, Miyazaki and most things Nolan (Batman!), Lord of The Rings, Fear and Loathing In Los Vegas, Gone Girl. There's many more but the unorganized mess of a database that is my brain is failing me.

Books

Lord of The Rings, A Song of Ice And Fire (I want more fantasy in my life so recommend me things!)

Books by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Irvine Welsh, Hunter S. Thompson, Stefan Zweig, Bill Bryson

1984, Beware of Pity, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Middlesex, The God Delusion, The Greatest Show on Earth, god is not great, The Magic of Reality, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, 100 Years of Solitude

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently spent what I would describe as some sort of magical odyssey out in the Kootneys. Starting at Shambhala festival one of the greatest parties I've had the pleasure of attending. The days were filled with frolicking, swimming, lounging, grazing, chatting and connecting with peeps whilst the nights were spent dancing what few cares we had away. Post Shambhala myself and a companion hitched from one small town to the next for another 2 weeks, coming across another (smaller) festival on a farm The Field. The entire time stumbling across exactly what we needed at the time or meeting some of the most fantastic human beings I've had the pleasure to meet and know. Still riding this wave I will keep on going on :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A big old couch, a warm shower, some home-cooked food and the use of a (pretty shitty) washing machine.
