Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The Hellenic tradition of XENIA, or hospitality, requires greeks to welcome strangers to their homes, all before knowing anything about them. It was a kind of unwritten pact among human beings, with obligations for the guest, as well as the host, which was believed to be enforced by the same god to whom the Olympic Games were dedicated: Zeus.
The tradition of Xenia shows the importance of overcoming such common human sentiments as fear and hostility in the face of a stranger. Doing this effectively clears out a space where the roots of friendship and brotherhood can take hold.
