Description
Hi I'm Kimberly. I like to think that others see me in the same way I see myself, and these are some of my personality traits I am most proud of:
I am I…
Fun...hardworking.....nurturing...honest..….playful...athletic.....considerate......bold and adventurous . I suppose I am too loud and too talkative for some!
I have traveled internationally and domestically for long periods of time, and I found it to be some of the most rewarding moments/experiences in my life, so I’m inviting like-minded people such as yourself into my home and life!
As a host I am able to continue growing from other people’s life experiences and be part of their adventures. I hope to create and attain meaningful and rewarding cultural and spiritual memories and learn of various places through other peoples eyes.
In my professional life I work as a Marriage Family Therapist in my own practice, which I do from home. I also teach and practice holistic healings, and I want to share and receive that gift with /ftom my guests.
I am seeking persons with crafty hands to build things in my home and creative minds to share and learn, new, cultural, and spiritual things together. For example, I would like to develop a stronger love for cooking and be exposed to new cooking methods, one on one instruction in yoga or self-defense. I’m excited to have someone to play games with:cards, board games and so on. I am looking for someone who will enjoying barbecues with friends, visit wineries, and play sports after a productive day of creating new elements in my home:
If what I’ve shared with you seems of interest and you have a similar passion or desire, contact me so that we may celebrate and accomplish things together!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I will invite and encourage my guests to learn about, teach and replicate holiday traditions and festivals from all around the world here in my home and neighborhood. I will introduce guests to local food and wine festivals, concerts, sporting events and art/dance. I want to host international food and beverage dinner parties followed by music, games and dance from that country.
Guests and I will embrace and promote our personal and cultural practices and offer to share that with each other. I will teach/share my gifts as a holistic practitioner, as I am a Reiki Master and practice healing and balancing via Chakra work.
I will be a tour guide for my area and share my community and my memberships with my guests. I frequently visit (and volunteer at 3) wineries. There’s over 300 wineries to choose from.!
There are word famous golf destinations less than 30 miles from my home; Spy Glass at Pebble Beach and Spanish Bay are just a few of the big names,
I am within 30 and 46 minutes of beautiful beaches and towns.
Help
Looking for individuals or couples who are handy with creating and organizing. I have hopes of adding playful charm and personality to my home and backyard. I would like to create a vegetable garden, furniture and organize my garage. I would love to build an outdoor pizza oven or community over like the old days in Italy. I invite my guests to create and infuse various cultural foods, music, dance and art into my home and my lifestyle. I am looking to create new friendships and support the love of travel and adventure, as I too am a world traveler. I see this program as an advanced and expanded spin off of Youth Hosteling. I am hoping my guests will teach me new games, family traditions and celebrate their national holidays with me and my community.
