Think it's a wonderful way to see the world - by proxy or from the locals' point of view. Sharing a meal or walking through Stockholm, seeing a place through other couchsurfers eyes while comparing travelstories, culture expression, history, movies, books or laughing at weird idiomatic expressions is all fun.

My spotifylist has no red thread at all - I listen to classical, to classics to pop, rock, rap, indie etc. But I miss the big 80s bands like Queens, Madness, Radiohead, ABBA, Smiths etc. I am a true cineast. Loved Milagro, the beanfield war, the Korean movie Canola and the scifi movie The Marsian to name a few. The lists of favorite books is so long I won't even try to share it here. I am the kind of person that read the entire library when I was a kid. Honorable mentions would be The hanging tree. Or Brick Lane by Monica Ali. Outlander series. Njals saga. The Martian by Andy Weir. Or Robert Heinlein's book Have space suit, will travel. That book made me laugh so hard my mom thought I was coughing in my sleep when I was secretly reading it under my blanket with a flash light.
