We stay with locals when we travel abroad but we don't even know our neighbors at home. We hide behind our devices, ignoring the people around us. I think we all should be a little bit friendlier. But the truth is, I've never had trouble making friends because I love people. I haven't always had the easiest journey. All my life, I have felt like someone on the outs: I was a programmer, I was gay or I was short and had a foreign accent. Back in Turkey in middle school, I was the funny guy with the German accent. I've been a stranger myself sometimes: I was born in Turkey and grew up in Germany where I was a geeky muslim boy in a class of blondes. The world is a better place when we get to know each other, when we are a little less strange to each other.
