Travelers are the best side of the world. I always have faith in the good side of people, and by couchsurfing, I believe I can see much of it. Making friends when travelling has become a indispensable part of my journeys. 

For music, usually movie and games soundtracks are my first choice. But classical music is also acceptable since I used to play Piano in my childhood. European movies are always my hit. French, German, Italian, especially those based on true event. History related, especially World War II related movies. Hollywood, only a few of them without visual effects can touch me.  For books, A lot. Human Development books are my cup of tea, for sure Anthony Robbins is my favorite, I read almost all of his works. Nowadays really do not have much time to read much books. But whenever I traveled, I always brought a book with me.
