I have been to San Columbano in the Northern province of Italy. There, I explored the house where my great great grandfather grew up and walked through the cemetery where my Cima ancestors are buried. Connecting to my heritage in such a physical way was an incredible experience.

I could teach you practical gardening skills, food preparation, basic sewing, or how to play the ukulele. We could talk about different schools of philosophy, various writers/musicians, the importance of environmental efforts, or social entrepreneurship projects.
