Hi,

I'm interested in learning how to rollerblade. I have blades and looking to head to the East Coast. There are also some rollerblade rental places there. PM me if you'd like to go out.

Hi,

I've recently arrived from the US, too. Looking to meet new people for drinks, coffee, travels, and hanging out.
