自我介绍

I’ve also spent many years working in Higher Ed publishing and I absolutely love being an Airnnb host. I care greatly about providing my guests with a sparkling clean place to call home while traveling. I’ve enjoyed travel adventures through Central and South America although I’ve been to West Africa, Hawaii, Australia and have traveled throughout Europe. I value the people I meet, love learning new languages and staying in a local area is always preferred over a touristy area and chain hotel. When not traveling I do my best to fill my home with laughter and the aroma of a good meal. I grew up in Spokane but left for college and to explore the world in the mid 90's. I returned home in 2005. It has been a dream to live in the Manito Park neighborhood and I'm grateful for it daily. On a side note: I have been very active in the community during my years in Spokane. In 2013, when there were merely 5 airbnb listings in Spokane the City of Spokane abruptly fined and shut down all current Airbnbs while banning future ones. After closing my doors I worked to transform this policy by forming a group of individuals comprised of Airbnb Hosts, BnB owners, City Counsel, Code Enforcement, our Mayor and State Legislators to legalize Airbnbs that get permitted. This process took over 6 months, it wasn’t easy but we did it. Many Airbnbs in the city are still illegal, but those with a business license who get permitted by the city and give back by paying the permit fee and taxes are legal. I’m proud to be one of these legal Airbnbs. The money we pay in taxes and fees helps to fund our beautiful parks, maintain our bike paths and much more. Thank you for choosing a legal airbnb w/ an active business license for your stay. I look forward to guiding you toward my favorite neighborhood walks, local cuisine and more.
