I am couch surfing because hotel/hostels are nice can be quite expensive. Would rather spend the majority on a plane ticket rather than a small area I am just using to sleep. It's a nice way to meet the locals and sharing stories is always must. Travelers are more open minded because they actually get to see different persepectives rather than a formed bias from movies/news/etc.

Music I like it rap, country and pop Indie music gets me in my "traveling" mood.
