I love travelling and meeting new people. When I travel, I enjoy staying in houses using short term rentals, like HomeAway instead of hotels. My own kitchen, easy access to the outdoors, lots of space, friendly hosts. I have stayed in short term rentals for my vacations since 2004. At that time I was living in Hawaii. My family visited the islands through short-term rentals. Molokai and Kauai were our favorites! Since then, I have stayed in short term rentals on the Outer Banks, Vermont, Massachusetts, and when I first moved back to Texas in 2009. After living on 5 continents and 5 states, I am now calling Austin my home. The city parks, varied restaurants, clubs, theater, and other entertainment provide endless new experiences. Yet, if you stay central, Austin does not feel like a big city. It's easy to bike and walk to favorite places. I love the motto, 'keep Austin weird'. I look forward to sharing information about Austin with my guests. There are so many fun places to explore!
I have two sons, a daughter-in-law, and two grandchldren, all on the east coast. I was raised in Ohio, and still have my midwestern accent.
