For two reasons: 1. To host and help people in need of housing. Come stay with me if you can't afford a hotel and just need a bed for the night. I will give you my couch and leave you alone. I'm not one of those people that get upset about being "used as a hotel". Sharing is caring. 2. To stay at new places and get to know them better from locals. To share my own stories and adventures. Planned-out trips and tours are never interesting to me.

I can only pick one favorite a book The Little Prince
