CS showed me a different approach to people, culture & traveling. It facilitates experiences, both for hosts and surfers, that would hardly be possible in any other way.

La leggenda di Kaspar Hauser, A girl walks home alone at night - anything by Wes Anderson, Tarantino, Jarmusch, Lynch, Fincher... I appreciate fantastic novelists like Murakami, Coelho, Garcia-Marquez, Hesse, Rushdie, or Kafka, but also realists from Houllebecq to Bret Easton Ellis and Franzen & of course the great Russians, especially Dostoevsky
