I think that traveling, meeting people and exchanging knowledge is the most important thing you can do. And it's fun! I prefer to stay with a local, who knows everything about the city. I believe it's more real than any hotel/guide tour can offer you.

I love books, I am dying without music. My favorites depend on my mood. I like J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.R.R. Martin and many more. I am listening to all kinds of music. From classical to alternative. I prefer acoustic guitar and instrumental right now. :-) I believe everyone likes a good movie in the evening. I prefer comedies than horrors. I don't like to be affraid of going to the kitchen in the night, just because of the movie I watched two weeks ago... ;-)
