“The whole idea of systematically choosing to extend your hospitality to total
strangers is just revolutionary. It breaks the boundaries and limitations set by our culture
and enforced by our upbringing. At least my dad was full of great advice: “Do not trust
strangers!,” “Never ask for help from anyone!,” “Be independent!” and so on. The list of
warnings I have heard is endless. Luckily, I chose to do just the opposite.”
