Everything began by an idea, and a commitment.
The idea, is that, everywhere on earth, you can be so close to someone that may appear at first as a perfect stranger. Everywhere on earth are people laughing, crying, sharing, screaming, being pround, fighting for ideas, and ideals. I believe there is no better way of growing up than sharing with people, from every country in the world. This sharing may be so intense, and diverse: from politics to music, from learning a language to teaching a new sport, from tasting new food to showing a movie. This is the best way to create a better understanding of the world, of people reactions, of different way of living.
The commitment is more pragmatic. I believe in the beauty of writing, in the beauty of the time someone will take to buy a postcard, to write it, to stick a stamp, to go to the mail office and send it. Then, there are still days before the letter arrive. Do you remember the feeling of receiving a letter, of opening the enveloppe and discovering, finally, the picture, the writing, the words? This is time consuming, this is about being patient, learning how to wait, dealing with expectations. This is life, in a way.
I hope this experiment will work. It is try, a game, without any expectation for anything else than having pleasure to know that part of our hometown lives now in someone else house.
