Having spent over 40 years in Africa where I was born and raised I have a unique outlook on life. I love outdoor life, cooking, entertaining, exploring and generally, making people happy.
After being widowed I emigrated to the USA in 2008, and married my husband Rick in 2010. Rick is native to Washington and went to Seattle Pacific College. He is retired from teaching and the USAF. He is passionate about classic cars and has a 1942 Packard, so hence car auctions and shows are part of our lifestyle.
We both love to travel and between us, we have visited and lived in numerous countries. I have two amazing daughters, one in Texas and one in Sydney Australia. Rick has two sons and a daughter all in the USA. We hope to be future snowbirds and want to share our home with other travelers from far and near.
5 things we can't live without - Good food, adventure, music, good health, mutual love and respect.
Our style of traveling is normally as our whim takes us. We fly, drive or pack a tent. Good resorts, B & B's, sailing, cruising, staying with friends and family are all probabilities. I love islands, beaches and the African bush. Castles, historical buildings and architecture, concerts in London, picnics in the forests of Washington, drives in the desert of Arizona, street markets, exotic foods, and museums are all part of what we enjoy.
Hosting.
We would like our guests to enjoy our homes, whether it is in Washington or Oro Valley. Our homes will have house rules and operational guidelines as each home has its own little quirks. We hope you will abide by these and take the time to explore the area, but mostly to have fun and make good memories!
