I am a private and public sector advisor and entrepreneur who believes that the best things in life (connection with our fellow humans, family, new and old friends, nature, great food, the list goes on) are not material ones. One great way of keeping a bit of life balance, even when traveling often for work, is interacting with and supporting local homeowners by renting their lovely homes in lieu of staying in hotels -so I try to do this on every possible occasion. It is also a delight to be able to do the same for our travellers and share Chateau d'Oche with our guests
