The best way to get to know a new place when you're travelling consists in mixing with the locals. I think couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people and culture, to have fun and to throw myself into new situations which improves the experience of travelling.

I like all kind of styles of music, but to sum up, i'll pick some of my favourite bands like Coldplay, Jose Gonzales, Junip, Kings of Lion, The Killers, Radiohead. Also some folklore music, jazz, reggae, etc. But above all, what I appreciate the most is live music.
