I enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and sharing mine. Talking to locals gives me a better perspective of what it's like to live there and how someone's culture is different from my own. I also think that locals can show and tell me more than a travel guide will ever be able to, so if you have the time I would love to see and hear what your favorite places are.

Music: At home: Kasabian, Cold War Kids, can't hide the fact that I'm a Beatles fan even though I also like the Stones, Muse, Bloc Party, Pearl Jam, Queen, Mumford & Sons and I sometimes enjoy listening to weird-ass smooth electro music such as vaporwave. While going out: Something I can dance to --- Movies: As a movie fan, I have a very hard time deciding which movie I like best. A few movies I really enjoyed and would recommend (all for completely different reasons, no particular order): the Deer Hunter, Grave of the Fireflies, Das Boot, Across the Universe, Big Hero 6 * Icheckmovies profile with (recently) watched movies, fav's, lists, etc. [ https://www.icheckmovies.com/profiles/melona/ ] * Disney Classics DVD collection: 27 out of 60 [ http://goo.gl/k0GDPf ] --- Books: When I was a kid I used to read a lot but nowadays not so much anymore (I don't really know why, because I still like it when I do). Sometimes I suddenly read like 5 books in 3 days and then nothing for months. Used to be a die hard Tolkien fan, his stories still have a place in my heart. Books I really enjoyed: the Angel Maker by Stefan Brijs, Sans Famille by Hector Malot and the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
