I haven't tried to couchsurf myself yet, but I figured, that if I wanted to do it one day, people would be less scared of me if I have references.

My favourite writer is Hunter S. Thompson, so his "Rum Diary" is a big one for me. I also like "Bluebeard" by Kurt Vonnegut. As far as music goes, a friend recently asked me to name a top five, which is an unfair task, but I said this (in no particular order): Led Zeppelin, J HUS, Migos, Beck, Bob Marley and the Wailers. It will probably change as time goes. I'm not a huge movie person, but I did like whiplash.
