Hi, I'm Lindsay. This is a minute of me. I got involved in hospitality working in restaurants growing up for many years, but I didn't get involved in short term rentals until 2020. We had our family vacation booked to go up to the Bruce Peninsula as we do every year. Looking forward to making those family memories. And like many People's Holidays in 2020 it was cancelled. I'd made a joke to my husband about buying our own property and just never having to worry about missing out on those memories again. And from there that really sparked something in us and we started digging into whether that would be possible or not. And after a lot of hard work a few months later and a lot of research, we were able to get the keys to our place. We're very happy to host other families and make it possible for them to make those memories too. And we've made a lot of good connections, good friendships through that as well. So it's been a wonderful experience.
