About the host
Hosted by Kimberly
Welcome Guest!
I originally intended to write up a lengthy backstory about who I am and how I came about becoming a short-term rental host. But then honestly, I lost track of time. Eh...who has time to read these things anyways! I'm sure you're more excited about your upcoming trip and want to spend your valuable time planning out all the fun (or relaxing) things to do when you come and visit!
ABOUT ME:
If you do find yourself wanting to kill some time then here's the bullet points about...me 😊
>I'm a senior release engineer from SoCal
>I'm kind of an introvert (what? a programmer that's ALSO an introvert? What are the odds?!)
>I'm definitely a health nut and LOVE outdoor adventures (hiking, biking, exploring, you name it!)
>I play guitar and love to learn about music (been playing on and off for over 20 years now and I still consider myself a beginner)
>I collect LEGO...mostly minifigs (AFOL here!)
IT'S JUST ME:
In case you were wondering, this home is managed by...you guessed it, me! I'm not a company or real estate mogul that buys properties and then hands them off to a well-oiled machine of people behind-the-scenes making this place run. Yes, I do hire local cleaners and handy-people and plumbers to clean and fix things (I said I was a senior release engineer...not a senior-release-engineer-professional-cleaner-licensed-electrician-marshmallow-whisperer-jack-of-all-trades person jeesh). But other than that, it's mostly me. I'm definitely not a fan of auto-bots (the chatting kind, not the Transformer kind) so if you have any questions or concerns or suggestions then let me know! And know that I, as the owner and host of the property, will be the one seeing those messages.
