Company information

A solo business woman, owner, who understands life's joy, hardship, and who lives in hope, faith and love. Compassion is vital, to be the hostess who cares yet, assertiveness brings the balance. Boundaries are important, to ensure both traveler and host, are in good standing assures satisfying moments/traveling/accommodation. Check in times are set for a reason, Early and late check in times, are allowed only to guests who travel from far, by plane etc. Local travelers, may fetch the key between check in time 14h00 to 18h00. The Hostess is generous in flexibility to assist guests, during the booked period, but too often her kindness may be seen as a weakness, and guests may overstay the welcome. Consider "Time" as a "frienship key" A time to work, a time to rest A time to be born, a time to die, People are needed at birth, as at death, as during the journey... A time for everything under the sun A time to always put yourself in other's shoes, to be satisfied and to share satisfied memory making moments. Life is a Journey. People need people Use things, but love people.
