Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes I'd like to visit a place from a different perspective and I feel staying over at someone's place rather than in a ho(s)tel allows just that (: I like hearing stories and insights about a city or area I otherwise wouldn't have, from people I otherwise wouldn't have met in the first place.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like mostly electronic music (Burial, Aphex Twin, Kelly Lee Owens, Weval, Trentemøller, Lorn) with exceptions such as Little Dragon, SZA, Solange, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar (!!), Blood Orange, Kaytranada.... OK I could go on. My absolute favourite film is Mr. Nobody and I am attempting to read Society of the Spectacle by Guy Dubord, Ways of Seeing by John Berger (both social anthropology), Summer Reader (or A Diamond in the Rough) by the Werkplaats Typografie (collected essays and images) and some other books with short stories. I recently finished "Ode aan de Liefde" (An Oath to Love) by Alain Badieu, an interview about his views on love and relationships, which was a very very good read.
