About the host
Hosted by Crystal Barron
Hello there, traveler! Traveling and exploring new places is one of my favorite things, which is why I started hosting. My goal is to make sure you are as comfortable as possible and that you have everything you need. I currently reside just North of Houston, Tx. I have lived in the Houston area my entire life, which is why I enjoy traveling so much! I am also an animal lover and if I had the time and space, I would rescue every dog that doesn't have a loving home. All dogs deserve to live on a couch and be completely spoiled!
