自我介绍

Bill Germain was born and raised in Massachusetts where he earned his vocational trade in the area of Food Service and Hotel and Restaurant Management in 1981. His job as a remote campsite manager and cook has taken him all over Alaska, the other 49 states, and Antarctica. He has always been an avid adventurist. In 1986, he came to Alaska to climb the tallest peak in North America. In 1989, he came back to Alaska and stayed since then. Grace Mariano was born and raised in the Philippines. She is a civil engineer by profession. In 1991, Grace migrated to New York, then to Alaska a year later, following her career path in the environmental field. Bill and Grace met through common friends from Talkeetna in 1998. Despite coming from two entirely different backgrounds, one significant thing Grace and Bill both have in common is the love for Alaska and all its natural wonders. They got married in January 2000 and had their first child, Karo, in the same year. Five years and one day after Karo's birth, they were blessed with another baby girl, Cheri. They started the bed and breakfast business in 2001. The combination of their individual skills and expertise, friendly and down-to-earth attitudes, passion for nature and adventure, simple lifestyle, and the desire to share the beauty and serenity of nature from where they live makes it all ideal for them to run a bed and breakfast. It offers them the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and be together as a family, as well. The Germains are grateful that they have found their own little paradise in this beautiful town of Talkeetna . And what better way of showing appreciation of such profound beauty but to be able to share it, too.
