Live in Santa Barbara and was running an Airbnb for 3 years. I have also had many ESL students from all over the world, which I loved. My 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters have been travelling the world since they were 5 years old and that was 30 years ago. We would take them out of school for 3 months to visit friends in South Africa and Rio. Now I want to see America. Hope to meet many new friends and invite them home to SB.
