Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it would be a better experience if I met up with locals in the places I travel to. This because they know the places and they may show me around, give me a piece of advise or maybe even host me.
At this point, I am not very stable regarding the place I live, so I would keep moving and have different accommodations. If the place where I stay can fit another person, I am very open to hosting travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on my mood, I listen to different kinds of music; I do not have a favorite genre.

I like dramas and adventure movies (but not only). Some of my fave: The way back, Cloud Atlas, War Horse, Perfume: story of a murderer, Head in the clouds, There will be blood, Lion.
Series: Game of Thrones, Vikings, Taboo, Da Vinci's demons, Myth Hunters, Knightfall, Peaky Blinders, La Peste, La casa de papel

I am more into history books, but I also enjoy good novels. Some of my favorite: Camelot - l'invenzione della tavola rotonda, Arthur Trilogy, The Gambler, Ion, Wuthering Heights, Padurea Spanzuratilor, One Hundred Years of Solitude.
I've been reading about vikings and about the legend of King Arthur, which are topics I really enjoy, along with the Templar Knights.
I plan to read more classics in the future.
