CURRENT MISSION

On a world tour to make new friends, eat new foods and hear new music.

ABOUT ME

Hi there,

I'm Sebastian. I'm a slightly extraverted half-indian/half-anglo-saxon city kid, who is opinionated but has an open mind to new things.

I like to meet people, and continually challenge myself. I'm a futurist, technologist and nerdy at heart.

My passions are music, food and bikes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm travelling around the world at the moment starting in San Francisco through New York, Detroit, Toronto, Berlin, Tokyo and back to Melbourne.

Happy to have people stay at my place in Melbourne, when I'm back, I'll happily show you round town. Melbourne has endless cool bars and cafes, and luckily I live right in the thick of it!

Interests

Eating! I love food. I'm on a sort of burger quest throughout the States! I want to try as many new foods as possible so I can add them to my cooking repertoire back home!

Making music. I like to make rnb, hiphop and techno. Checkout the list of tunes below.

I love riding bikes, although I can't bring my bike with me travelling, riding is one of my favourite things to do. I'll probably be trying to buy or rent bikes wherever I go, so it's a super bonus if you could lend me one! In return, I'll clean it up for you.

I love watching anime.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of anything anime. In particular Studio Ghibli films and anything by Shinichiro Watanabe. Favourite show is Samurai Champloo. Currently watching Space Dandy.

Film has always been a passion. I'm a Melbourne Internatinal Film festival member, and have volunteered there in the past! I also used to work as a projectionist at the Rooftop Cinema in Melbourne. Werner Herzog is my favourite director, I'm especially a big fan of his documentaries. He's not for everyone but if you like this its probably a good litmus test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xQyQnXrLb0

Music has always been a big part of my life. I like techno, rnb, house, electronica, rap, jazz, rock. Roughly in that order. I like to go out and dance, be it the bump-n-grind or all night rave.

PillowTalk - The Real Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFPRwX6q3fI

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about the internet and music production!

I used to teach a web 101 course on how to build websites from knowing nothing, so I can probably be of the most use in that area. Want to learn HTML / CSS / Javascript? I can help you get started!

I'd love to learn more about music production. I like to make techno through house and RnB through hip-hop. I can be of some advice, in particular I use Ableton live. I hope to release some tunes as part of my travelling overseas.
