My work: cater/hospitality
Favorite song in high school: I heard it through the Grapevine
I have spent many years in hospitality and real estate industries and have been a superhost in US and Canada for over 9 years. I love being in the kitchen, yours or mine, it doesn't matter to me. Everything about food excites me! I'm happy to leave a meal for my guests if they request it price to be discussed.
