1. To finally explore the world and the people that live their lives in it. 2. To connect with the people living in unknown places, and to meet fellow appreciators of culture, languages, wisdom and joy! 3. I like the feeling of contributing to other peoples wellness. If I can achieve that feeling by opening up my home; definitely! If I can achieve it while connecting with my host; even better!! I hope it's time for us to exchange wisdom and knowledge, share lots of laughter and leave each other again feeling a little richer!

Variety does the trick. It can basically be everything if its in the right time and space! + as long as it has some refinement in either story, message and/or imagery. Some examples: Music ~ Florence + the Machine, Enya, Joe Hisaishi, Bibio, Grimes, Kikagaku Moyo, Ultramarine, The Orb, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Fleetwood Mac, Secret Garden, etc.. Films ~ 砂の女, All about Lily Chou Chou, Harry Potter, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Attack on Titan, Monster-in-Law, etc.. Books ~ "The Perennial Philosophy" by Aldous Huxley, "the Lily Theatre" by Lulu Wang, "In the Shadow of Man" Jane Goodall, etc.. ( Let's talk about our likings!)
