Last summer I was working as a summer camp counselor in upstate New York, USA; I loved this experience as we went on many overnight hikes, cooked food outdoors & made lifelong memories.
I've recently been playing the boardgame "aggravation" which is highly addictive and can be quiet competitive. I also know some kids card games too (They're awesome to pass the time on a cold winters day).Más información
