The main reason for me to be here on Couchsurfing is the people, because I don't think you can fully immerse youself in a culture unless you talk to the local people. I also prefer to see any town or city through the eyes of a local rather than a travel magazine. Staying with someone also means you get to see how they live and what they eat, which is an essential part of any culture.

Music: indi-pop, electropop, electronic music by various artists. Some musicians I've been listening to a lot recently are Elderbrook, Jamie xx, Tove Lo, Aurora, Tom Misch, the list goes on. Books: My Year of Rest and Relaxation, The Kite Runner, Shantaram, The Autumn of the Patriarch and many many more. I also read self-help.
