One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met my best friend through her mother, who I met in a Pizzeria in Germany, and who became my first unofficial couchsurf & my fiancé at a reggae bar in a little town in northern Thailand.

I can teach you that most salads should be had warm and that goats cheese goes with everything. Everything. Try it.
