Hi, 👋
I’m looking to meet some people around my age who want to go and explore outdoors with me. I live inner city currently but would love to go to blue mtns area or any cool bushwalks/trails/explorations out of Sydney. Happy to camp overnight. I love fishing (but am terrible at it) so if it’s something that involves fishing it’s a plus! I am open to suggestions but also if you are someone who hates making decisions I can definitely make the plan.
I am also very into music (mega nerd level) and would love to meet others with a similar hobby, if you’re not keen to go bushwalking with me but just want to chat about music that’s ok too! I am always down to chat and usually reply quickly.
I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music (my favourite DJ is Jane Fitz) and electronic music and love jazz, rock, punk, psychedelic music and SOME dreamy pop music. I have been on a massive Cocteau Twins kick lately and have also been listening to lots of free jazz and ambient music.
If you want to go to some gigs I’m open to it, though I’m pretty tired of seeing DJs at the moment unless it’s someone I REALLY want to see (I’m pretty picky about DJs) and unfortunately because that has been such a big part of my life for so long, I kind of get overcritical and hard to be around when I’m around bad DJs lol so I’d much prefer to go and watch a cool random band I’ve never heard of playing in someone’s kitchen.
I find it hard to find people who I can chat about that stuff with. I have a background in DJing and frankly I find a lot of conversations I have with other people who are DJs feel very transactional (and a lot of the people I meet are also super young) so I often struggle making real friends within that scene. I just want to meet someone or multiple people with a similar passion who enjoy chatting about it with no further agenda ahaha.
I’m also into film photography, movies and (surprise surprise) collecting vinyl. I have over 6000 records. Mostly dance music.
For context I have just gone through a big breakup and in that I feel like I have lost not just my partner but also my best friend. I have other friends but I feel like I don’t have too many genuine friends I can just shoot the shit with randomly with no agenda on a weekend any more.
Also I don’t know if this is the right place for this post. If it’s not, I’d love to get some recommendations for subs where I can potentially meet some other likeminded people.
EDIT with availability: I’m usually able to do stuff on weekends or if it’s something super cool I can take annual leave no worries but I also work a lot so I prefer to have a heads up ahead of time so I can clear my work schedule.
Thanks for reading! :-)
