Couchsurfing is a good way to meet local people. Also I want to look at this world through traveling and communicating with interesting people of different cultures, it seems this site can help us :)

In the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower " the main character asked his favorite book, and he replied that he had no one, that his favorite book is the one he last read. I think I have the same thing.. but there are a few that are particularly important. "The Master and Margarita", "The Catcher in the Rye", "The Picture of Dorian Gray", books Hemingway, Jack Kerouac ("On the road", of course, a great book, but after "Big Sur" I really want to meet the ocean) and several novels by Remarque, "Dark Avenues" by Bunin and Russian classical literature. I'm very different in music, love classics and modern composers (especially Ludovico Einaudi), alternative rock, old albums of Linkin Park, RCHP, Bon Jovi, Arctic Monkeys, The XX, Kasabian, Alt-j, David Bowie, Placebo, Hozier, Radiohead, James Blunt, Oasis, and others, sometimes listen to podcasts and chillout.
