I like the idea: traveling, seeing the places "like a local". Meeting locals, getting some tips from them about the country and the city they live, sharing the impressions and experiences - it's probably the best way to explore new places and cultures. Couchsurfing also helps to meet people when you move to a new place and you don't know anybody at the beginning. That's how I've actually joined Couchsurfing community. At the moment I'm a person without fixed location - I took a year off for a long travel, so I'm more using the couches of other people than proposing mine... But if you're planning to visit France in September 2017, I might have a couch by then ;)

I love swing music - it makes me dance (Lindy Hop & Blues)! But not just this: The Doors, Emiliana Torrini, Queen, Damien Rice, Hindi Zahra, Amy Winehouse, Jack Johnson, Sigur Ros... many of them in my playlist and in my ears.
