In general I think that all the misunderstandings in the world come from our precautions. Instead of learning directly from the life we just accept very simplified descriptions of things, situations and people. So couchsurfing is one of the ways how we all can get the real impressions and real knowledge.

I read a lot...so it's difficult to make a shortlist. Just love reading :) Same about music- I' m not an expert but there is no style I can' t love when it's good. But especially I prefer blues, soul and reggae.
