From the minute John picked me up, I had a very welcoming and calm feeling from him. He is by far one of the kindest people I have met. He was very accommodating, made sure I had everything I needed, took me food shopping as I'm vegan and let me get what I liked, and most importantly he taught me so much! I really didn't know what I would be… read more
