Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've found that the CS meetups are a good way to meet up with like-minded people when you arrive in a city on your own. I have couchsurfed in Fiji and Argentina and hosted while I was living in Panama and Colombia.
Music, Movies, and Books
After travelling, music is my biggest passion in life. I listen to lots of different genres – it all depends on my mood and the setting. At the moment I am probably listening mostly to hip-hop and rock. Authors I have enjoyed: Chekhov, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Murakami, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Tom Wolfe, Bukowski, Hemingway, Afonso Cruz.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
