Thank you very much for. I'm very honored to be your host tonight. Thank you very much for the opportunity to be your guest. I'm consider myself an expert. I've been dealing with the vacation rental industry at 360 degrees since 19 where I'm helping people, people going from one side to the other. Basically this is part of my business.

Right now you're in Barcelona. We're obviously recording this on Monday 23rd March. So just give us a bit of an update what your life has been like personally and sort of business wise for the last two weeks. Because, well, for the last week you've been on lockdown. Last two weeks you've been on lockdown. How has it been for you? You know, obviously you're a father, you run a business. Businesses like personally not been like. Give us an indication what life has been like living in Barcelona at a time like this.

We are now entering the second week of lockdown and yesterday the government said we are going to have two more. So we are going to have four.

We hope and we pray that it will be sooner rather than later that life can come back to what we ever thought was whatever is going to be the new normal moving forward. But thank you for sharing that because we've got people that are going to be listening and watching this from all over the world.

So, you know, it's really interesting hearing stories from people all over the world. And in this series we're going to be hearing from people living all over the world. Comes good of this. I just hope people learn and they take your advice, they take my advice, they take all of the people that are giving really good advice out there on why you should put your time and effort into getting a website that works and a PMS property management software that you can get on with a channel manager and you just sort of make sure that you are present everywhere.

I have to say that we, because of the virus, will sort of abandon it because now I'm focusing on helping people in Italy because they need my help. This is something that we need to grow. We need to grow with you guys, even you, Mark, and all the people that matter in the vacation rental.
