I think staying with a local can make the touristic experience much better, not only getting to know the city but the people who live there and making new friends.

I try to listen as much new music as I can everyday, love getting to know new genres and styles. Same regarding cinema with an exception: I can't stand horror movies as I get scared way too easily 😱 (If there's any dramatic scene will definitely cry right away). Currently trying to get to know argentinian literature better but open to reading suggestions!
