Meet The Host

I'm an avid traveler and love nothing more than discovering new places, cultures, languages and peoples. I have learned so much about the tourism and hospitality business through my travels to over 30 countries and I'm so excited to get my turn to welcome other travelers into my own home here in the heart of Gainesville, Florida! My husband Andrew and I are midwesterners but have fallen in love with the Sunshine State. We love helping our guests discover all that this area has to offer! When we're not busy working or renovating houses, you can usually find us hiking, playing with our two giant puppies, enjoying some tasty food or a drink at one of our local breweries, visiting the beach, or planning our next trip to Central America to practice our Spanish.
