In the time I've spent traveling, the best stories I've heard is ones told by the people living in the areas I'm visiting. Couchsurfing is a wonderful/positive community of open minded people that love the share/hear others stories. It gives one the opportunity to meet strangers and make friendships that may not have ever blossomed otherwise.

I am not super particular about my music taste, and am awful at keeping up with current artists. So please give me recommendations so I can update my desperately lacking playlists. I am however a HUGE movie buff. I like sci-fi, action, drama, romance, anime you name it. I like fiction book and podcasts. If you have recommendations, I'd love to hear em.
