I just recently discovered couchsurfing after hearing about it from a friend. It seems like it will be a great way to meet and spend time with interesting people who want to share their experiences and hear about mine. I also hope it might give me a different perspective on travel. I have previously only stayed in hotels and hostels which are great but I feel like they somehow separate you from the real cultural experience, and I don't want to miss out on one bit of it.

I can't put my finger on any one book, movie or artist because there are so many to love and a never ending list of new ones to discover. A few books that always stand out are: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Harry Potter (all of them) by JK Rowling The Berlin Boxing Club by Robert Sharenow Looking for Alaska by John Green and the list goes on......... Movies... I'm not the biggest fan. I can't seem to sit through many without getting bored and restless but that's probably in part because most are quite predictable these days. I'm definitely not against watching them, but just prefer to spend my time doing more exciting things! Artists, the list is too long to even begin, I am always looking to find new artists and genres to add to my playlists. Anything with a good beat will keep in interested.
