For me traveling is about trying to understand the local culture. And you just can't do that when you only visit the sights. I love meeting the people who call a place home and learn from them. I love seeing new ways of looking at the world and how the simplest of things can be different for each person or culture.

This question is too big to answer. Seriously. But these are some books I love: Born a crime by Trevor Noah; The unlikely discipline by Kevin Roose; Dan Carter's Autobiography; The subtle art of not giving a f*ck by Mark Manson; Amish confidential by Levi Schultz and many many more... I also love music by Gregory Porter, Funk Cannon, Glenn Claes, Allen Stone, Parson James and so many more...
