During the time I spent abroad as a volunteer and intern, I discovered how significant the difference between visiting a place as a tourist and actually living there really is. For me, tourism and travelling means more than just to be carried around and spend the whole day on the beach, so I really want to get to know the places where I'm going. That's why I'm enjoying tips from locals. In fact, I even learn something about my home city through Couchsurfing ;-)

My favourite book is "Isola" by Isabel Abedi, a German author. In general, I like historical novels, fantasy, detectice stories, scifi as well as books dealing with society and politics. There's hardly any book I would not read, to be honest. With music it's similiar: I enjoy many different genres such as classical music, rock, instrumentals, pop, country, a capella, soundtracks and also stuff like hornpipe music, songs with the whales and indian songs. Some of the interpreters I'm listening most frequently to: Wiseguys, Bob Dylan, Sting, The Piano Guys, Tchaikovsky, Hans Zimmer, Greenday, Karl Jenkins and Stilbruch. The movie question is difficult... "Inception" was really good, you can watch it several times and you'll always learn something new. The same with "Interstellar". Besides that, all Harry Potter books, movies, soundtracks are just... magical!
