Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Samantha DiPietro

My husband, Dominic, and I love to travel all over the world but Maryland will always be home for us. We have plans to visit a few more places in Europe in the near future before settling down and starting a family of our own. Currently our only babies are our Rhodesian Ridgeback pup Rufus and our roofing business.
In our spare time we enjoy hiking, live music & comedy shows, and meeting new people which is what lead us to hosting our home. There is so much to do and see in the Annapolis area and we are more than happy to share some of favorites!
