About the host
Hosted by Cyndi Johnson
I'm a lifelong Hoosier with the exception of a stint in California for graduate school. My husband and I moved to Bloomington in 2005 when I was pregnant with my first child, and we never looked back. We love it here, and are so very pleased to be realizing a lifelong dream of hosting a BNB. I have 3 children -- one of whom has Down syndrome and will live with me forever -- so I needed to find a creative way to bring her to work with me. If I let her pick the tunes, she can be quite a good helper with making up beds and dusting. Hosting is something we can do together for years to come.
