CURRENT MISSION

Trust your instincts and be kind to yourself

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed once before in Amsterdam (May 2013). It was a lovely experience and I'm eager to surf some more! As soon as I have a couch of my own to lend out, I'll be open for business to pay back the favor.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I once had a picnic and played hide-and-seek with friends (old and new) in the ruins of a 14th century Scottish castle.
