Spanish term or phrase: cada uno desde su optica dificilmente coincidente con la de los demas
I could do with some help wording this in the right way. The style of the document is generally quite rich and expressive. All help very much appreciated.

Saldremos a descubrir la ciudad que ya nos cobija, pasearla, encontrarla, seguro que para alguno tambien redescrubrirla, en cualquier caso, "cada uno desde su optica dificilmente concidente con la de los demas".

P.S. I have translated "ya nos cobija" as "...that is already sheltering us", would "that is already our host" be better?

Hope this all makes sense, and many thanks.

For "que ya nos cobija", how about "which has already taken us under its wing"?
