I love inventions like this! It connects people from all over the whole on a whole different level than on e.g. social meadia. The aspect of supporting each other is wonderful. There is no reason not to be on couch surfing :) This way you save money, you connect to locals and see how they live like, and you meet new people and might even become friends :)

Music: Very open, like a lot of music. At the moment my favourite kind is (old schoo) hip hop and tech house. Movies: The fabulous destiny of amelie poulain, The intouchables, Cloud atlas
