Since I was a teenager, I have always had a special place in my heart for Saint Francis of Assisi. This year I finally managed to make a pilgrimage to his hometown of Assisi from Australia. The highlight of my trip was both unplanned and unexpected. #St Francis Assisi #peace #love #spirituality #storytelling
