Through my years traveling and living in different places I have learned that the best way to experience to the best things is to meet someone who knows there area. And couch surfing is a fantastic way to to do that, in addition to meeting great people.

Overall I love hearing about different books/music/movies in different languages that I am learning. But in particular... Music: I enjoy listening to most genres of music. For me every genre has its own mood and I like to listen to different things depending on whats happening around me. But my preferences definitely lean towards rock music and many of its sub-genres. Movies: I love movies that require a lot of thinking; movies that inspire thought and that make the viewer think about things in many different ways. I also like action, thriller, comedy, adventure, sci-fi, and satire (or theater of the absurd). Books: I like to read action or adventure novels preferably that are part in a series, but I also like to read many other things that spark my interest at the time. I am most picky with books but generally if it can garb my attention within the first chapter, I will enjoy reading it
