Description
My name is Anthony, and I'm 77 years old. I've met several traveler's at festivals and since then I've had many people staying and giving me a hand around the house. I love to travel and meet new people. You're welcome to stay, just shoot me a message to see when is a good time. I'll probably challenge you to a game of Rummikub or maybe more!!
Stunning sunsets evenings where we drive on the beach like a real local!
