Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to understand the local culture ,learn about local lifestyle ,and taste the local food. I also want to experience a different way of traveling, so couchsurfing should be a good experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is wildly eclectic — I groove to everything from pop and hip-hop to R&B, jazz, and beyond.
When it comes to movies, I’m drawn to visually poetic storytelling. All-time favorites include The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Legend of 1900, and Big Fish.
