My husband and I are entrepreneurs who currently own Eclectic Well-Being where we help people achieve higher levels of health and happiness and our Airbnb business, Eclectic Sanctuary with our Happy Herb Farm! We enjoy the outdoors and prefer a natural yard rather than a meticulously landscaped one. Our home is not luxurious, but it is eclectic, clean and comforting. We prefer solitude or meaningful conversations rather than small talk. We enjoy getting to know our guests and hosts, but respect your privacy. We love to travel both within the US as well as abroad.
