Addresses Quote by Rita Gelman

“Take what happened to me in Bali. I planned on going to Ubud, then met a man on an airplane who told me it was too touristy. He gave me an address on the other side of the island, which turned out to be a palace where I lived for four years.” quote by Rita Gelman — Download Open image
