*** Nick's Notes ~ Claus has made a huge impact on my life and was a big reason I chose to live overseas. I can't thank him enough for the amazing experience and making me feel welcome in a whole new world. This recording was very powerful, and I respect Claus tremendously for speaking out about very personal issues. I know it will resonate with someone and hopefully make a difference in their life!
