Because I really want to meet new people and know how people in the country I'm visiting live. I love to compare countries, not to know which one is better and etc., but to know the differences between our lifestyles and maybe implent some of that stuff in my life. (for example, in Italy this guy taught me to drink a glass of wine every lunch, man, best thing of my life). Having a different view on things is really imporant to grow, and being able to see through other people's views makes me grow as a person. Being really open-minded and non-judgemental is something that I strive to be.

Well, I love brazilian music, all styles, and international-wise I am a really eclectic person, ranging from black metal Burzum-style to contemporary rap. I read mostly everything because I just love it, but brazilian, russian, cuban and japanese literature have a special place in my heart. I just think they are a cut above the rest.
