Dans ce bas monde, camarades de mer, le péché qui paie sa place peut voyager librement et sans passeport, tandis que la vertu pauvre se voit arrêtée, elle, à toutes les frontières. (Herman Melville)

La realidad de un país es muy compleja, muy contradictoria, muy difícil de desentrañar, y para conocer una realidad no es asunto de estar unos días, una semana o dos o tres en un país. La realidad de cada país es una señora bastante misteriosa. (Eduardo Galeano)

Independientemente de cómo se viaje, de los atajos que se tomen, del cumplimiento o no de las expectativas, uno siempre acaba aprendiendo algo.

PHILOSOPHY

"... A man needs to travel. On his own, not through histories, images, books or tv. He needs to travel because of himself, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his. For one day to plant his own trees and give them value. To know the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. To feel the distance and the lack of shelter so as to feel good under his own roof. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine, and not just how it is or how it can be; that makes us teachers and experts about things we haven't seen, while we should be students and just go seeing". ("Endless sea"- Amyr Klink)

"Be careful, you are not in Wonderland. I've heard the strange madness long growing in your soul. But you are fortunate in your ignorance, in your isolation. You who have suffered, find where love hides. Give, share, lose — lest we die, unbloomed." (Allen Ginsberg)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
- Paulo Coelho
