About the roomies
I am a project management / change management / process improvement consultant, and travel regularly. I enjoy meeting new people and learning their stories. I have traveled extensively throughout the world, and settled in this area because this is where my father is originally from. I have two grown children, with whom I travel with often. I enjoy kayaking and gardening, and reading - mostly history.
One or both of two other private rooms on the same property may be occupied by long-term guests - typically professionals working in the area for a few months at a time, or students in the area for internships.
