自我介绍

I'm a bit of a vagabond at heart...and I just love traveling! The love began when growing up in Europe and traveling all about as a kid. I didn’t comprehend the word ‘permanent’. Now I rarely leave home without my passport, - just maybe an opportunity could present itself, and I'll be prepared! My husband and my dearest friends love the hustle and bustle of busy cities and the exact opposite: living life in the sleepiest of unique, unexplored villages. Traveling in the middle east, the UAE and Oman have been my most fascinating stays. The rocky countrysides, miles of sandy deserts, stark simplicity and then just around the corner the grandeur, scents and tastes all captivate me beyond words. In the US my favorite spot of all is my Ice Pond Camp in East Dover, VT - enjoying a simple life. It began completely off grid as a 12x12 camping shanty, but in the past 39 years has grown and gained amenities that I couldn’t even begin to hope for in my early years. It is my joy and blessing and I couldn't be more thankful for the Ice Pond Camp. It's a juxtaposition from my everyday life, and perfectly feeds my soul. One of my favorite words in the English language is: "yet". As in: I haven't lived there "yet"- , or I haven't seen, experienced, eaten, visited, smelled, touched or been there "yet"- . My bucket list is long and full, and to some it may be a little unique, I just haven't lived all there is to live, -YET! My husband, family, friends and I travel often using airbnb home stays whenever possible. We especially enjoy Austria & Switzerland. My husband and I celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary this year, have 2 adult daughters and a son-in-love who live a few hours away. Cats - Maple and Tacoa and our own house guests keep the house lively even while we are off traveling around. Staying with Airbnb hosts has provided a wonderful, interesting and cost effective travel - we've stayed in homes in Austria, Germany, the UK, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Belize, Panama, Roatan, Nicaragua, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg … and so many places in the US. Each and every stay has been a very wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoy hosting people as well and have been blessed by so many truly awesome guests. Please read our reviews and you’ll see the top notch experiences both we as hosts and our guests have! God has given us a fun and exciting life, we are thankful to be right in the middle of purposefully enjoying and living it! We look forward to meeting you!
