Visiting Varanasi, India

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been diagnosed with Parkinson disease quite recent, but i am doing very well, due to medication and activities, like sporting, excercises, keeping up my mind fresh, travelling. If you are an artist and interested in doing some art things together, I am in!
Communication. Just like painting.
