Because hotels don’t offer real conversations, unexpected laughs, or that feeling of being part of something human. Because I’ve seen how strangers can become friends in one night. Because the best memories always start with: “So I met this person on Couchsurfing…”

I listen to almost every genre—pop, rap, indie, world music—as long as it lifts the mood. Favorites include Coldplay, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Stromae, Eminem, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, and more. I enjoy movies that feel real and leave an impact. Like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Into the Wild, Good Will Hunting, Her, The Intouchables, The Pianist. As for books—I love deep stories and powerful minds: Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Tolkien, Coelho, Hesse, Murakami… Anything that makes you think or dream.
