About the Host. Over the last 40 years, Oakland, California has been my beloved home. After retiring from a rewarding career as a federal civilian employee, I decided to take a bold step into the world of real estate and investing, which has proven to be a fulfilling and successful endeavor. My curiosity about diverse cultures and backgrounds has been a significant influence in my decision to expand my professional services to include hosting and assisting global travelers. In my free time, I find tranquility and renewal in the serene natural wonders of the California mountains. I frequently take the opportunity to escape into nature, spending nights camping to find mental respite from the urban rush. Furthermore, my wanderlust has taken me across the globe, offering me a unique and profound insight into the rich tapestry of global cultures. I am deeply appreciative of the chance to connect with and learn from people from all walks of life.
