Couch is not the point, I can book some accommodation, albeit I can sleep tight in the wild on backpacking hikes. Love to have locals showing me the local treasures in addition to the tourist hot spots. The best way to experience local culture, and find out authentic FOODs, is through local friends.

Classic music, Jazz, middle-east and Latino music, etc. About movies, recent favorites include Turkish, Austrian, Iranian and Danish films. Too many types of books to list.
