自我介绍

Greetings!! Thank you for your interest in the Barn. My love for travel began as a child, growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. I was always fascinated by the beauty and history of my 'hometown' with its exceptional museums, theaters and cultural diversity. Thankfully, my parents encouraged me to see the world while I was young. I had committed to do just that, but thought 'why not get paid for it?!' Upon graduation from Loyola University, I began my career within the travel industry, which spanned the next 25 years. During that time, I had worked for 3 major airlines, 2 travel agencies, a major hotel chain and a logistics company. The knowledge, mentors and friendships that I have developed & maintained over the years continues to grow. The many relocations that I had accepted, plus the years of travelling the world extensively, has finally brought me to my perfect landing place! Being your host is not just a job, but it is my passion; to share the little piece of heaven that I have found here in Southeast Tennessee. In my eyes, I am on vacation every day. I hope that you will feel the same when you stay here at the Barn. It is truly a magical place! In addition to hosting my Airbnb, I enjoy swimming, kayaking, nature photography and continue to travel by car, plane or ship when I can! I also volunteer for Happinest Wildlife Rescue in Chattanooga and Florida Parrot Rescue. You may hear squawking outside on occasion when my parrots are enjoying the outdoors, too!
