自我介绍

I've been a host since the early days of Airbnb - almost a decade at a couple of locations in Santa Barbara. I joined to create a local, affordable alternative to the expensive vacation stay rentals in that area, and I fell in love with the constant flow of happy travelers bringing excited, relaxed energy to my home. I stopped mid-COVID and sold my Santa Barbara property to relocate to Marin County, where I grew up. My new Airbnb rentals bring a confluence of the Southern California warmth and open-heartedness to the original Bay Area countercultural/art vibe I grew up in. I am an artist/writer and professional astrologer who has always wanted to create special enclaves in my home spaces that are filled with light, space, color - and character. To that end, notice I live next to San Quentin Prison - a blend of institutional intensity and beautiful architecture. It's along the water and away from the din of Marin's main bustle, but also features an armed guard 100 yards away. The presence of the prison is what attracted me to this location, because it is 'real' and more sobering than a lot of the affluence and material indulgence of the Bay Area in recent years. Being in an 1888 Victorian that was built in the earliest era of the prison is historic and beautiful, and my goal is to preserve it and the old school experience of being from this region before it boomed with the internet generation.
