"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and immersing myself in different cultures. However, I really think it's very difficult to get to experience and to understand a new place without having any contact with local people. Indeed, there's no better way to know the secrets of your new destination than to follow the advice of a great host. Not to mention, that most of the charm of a trip lies in the people you meet during the adventure.

Interests

I live in a constant struggle to broaden my mental horizons and I truly believe that the clash of cultures is the best way to achieve it.

It doesn't matter how different the ideas of the people you meet along the way are: diversity makes us great.
