“Spending all my remaining money on a ticket to Florence was rendered needlessly complicated by the fact that none of the ticket-sellers had ever heard of the place.

And I love to carve out time for myself and sometimes I'll hang out with girlfriends, but i like to keep things pretty intimate.”

We bonded through this shared appreciation for being out in nature and attempting climbs together. No matter the age or background of the participants, climbing was a unifying undertone tone that created instant friendships.”
