Host profile image
I have made Salt Spring Island my home since 1997. I grew up in Germany and I moved to Canada with my parents when I was 13 years old. I love travelling and have travelled all over the world and stayed at many different places.
My sister Petra and I own the guesthouse and we try to make it as comfortable and pleasant as possible for our guests.
