By couchsurfing and staying with locals it is possible to get a much better sense of each place than by staying in a hostel. And of course, it's the perfect oppurtunity to meet new interesting people.

My favourite music is usually slow and relaxing, something like indie or folk rock. I really love to watch movies, especially old ones. It's hard to pick favourites, but I among them are for example "Million dollar baby", "La vita e bella" or Hitchcock's "Pshyco". I have also loved reading books all my life and like most people on the planet, I love the Harry Potter series. My favourite book of all time is probably "Idiot" by Dostojevsky.
