I think slow travel and getting to know a place the way the locals do is the most authentic and exciting travel experience. Its also a great way to make new international friends and learn and share stories :)

Music: Indie/folk/rock - really depends on my mood (current favourites are Phoebe Bridgers, Men I trust, anything Sufjan Stevens, Frank Ocean, sticky fingers, Steve Lacy, girl in red, Weyes blood, COIN, Daughter, Novo Amor, Two Door cinema club etc) Movies: call me by your name makes my cry, foreign Netflix shows are the best! (Baby, La casa de papel, the hookup plan, elite), random indie films like 500 days of summer, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, etc. I love poetry! Especially ones with beautiful imagery that really transports me! Some of my favourite poets are Derek Walcott and Anne michaels, Anne Carson, Arthur Rimbaud.
