Our Story

Hey there! We’re a family of four, with two awesome kids, Maxwell and Olivia (born in 2011 and 2012) and a lovable Goldendoodle. We visited 27 countries in 5 continents, and stayed in 38 people’s homes during that time. We are grateful for the generosity of the many hosts who opened up their homes to us, often demonstrating their desire for us to love and enjoy their city and country. They gave us a local’s love for their cities and countries. Our hopes, at that time, was that one day, we would own our own home, and meet and host visitors from all over.

In 2011, we moved from New York City to San Francisco and moved into our dream home in 2012. By 2012, we had our dream home. We enjoy playing host, welcoming visitors into our home and suggesting great places to visit while staying in the San Francisco area.

We love jazz, partner dancing (especially lindy hop), camping, skiing, reading, and traveling.
