Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard a lot of positive things about it from my friends. I'll be travelling in Italy in a few weeks. So I decided to try it out for myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests are always changing. I grew up listening to a lot of hip hop and reggae but now I'm more into classical, jazz, blues, and some international music.

I have a hard time sitting still so I don't watch that many movies. I still have a few favourites though like Aladdin, The Big Libowski, Bab'Aziz, and Anna and the King (the newer one).

I've always got a novel or a book of some kind going but I have a hard time remembering names of authors and titles I've read. A few that stand out in my mind are Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, Life of Pii by Yann Martel, My name is Red by Orhan Pamuk, Northern Lights by Phillip Pulman , The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
