Description
Hi I am Steph, 58, a world citizen and I moved to Sicily together with my cat 1.5 years ago. I live in an old house near Siracusa and not far from the Natural Reserve of Cavagrande di Cassibile, the biggest canyon in Europe. It would be great to be cooking together sometimes, go on a hike, I enjoy nordic walking, Makko-Ho (kind of japanese Yoga), swimming, meeting people, good food, cultural events and a lot more. Currently I am renovating my house and therefore need professional help with everything like plumbing work, tearing down walls and building new ones, woodwork, renovate the wooden blinds. There is a lot to do ...
Looking forward to hearing from you :-)
