Pretty simple: Locals know the best sights, the best bars, the best museums, the best tours, the best food, etc. So why not just meet up with a local?

I mostly read non-fiction books, because I love learning more about the world we live in. And I watch mostly documentaries, for the same reason :) I listen to anything that gets my feet moving. (Reggae, hip hop, soul, funk, rock 'n roll, salsa, dance hall, DJ's...)
