My husband Clint & I like to host guests from all over the world. I am a hospitality specialist by profession and ran a 650 year old part of a fortress in Germany with restaurant & apartment. In my carreer I worked for cruiseliners and touroperators as well. I love hosting guests and make them feel at home.
