When a stranger shows kindness, I feel indebted to them and I'm on couchsurfing because I'm always looking for that rare bond in different parts of the world.

I don't really like classing things into genres, but jazz is probably the best. I love karaoke. Currently loving: Derya Yildrim. Edward Norton and Miyazaki films are always a hit for me. 'Ghostwritten' by David Mitchell is one of my fave books. Two of my favourite philosophers are Patti Smith and Andy Warhol. Aron Ralston is another inspiration for me.
