Thank you.
So could you please just for everybody that is watching just give us a brief introduction to who you are, where you are in the world and then we'll get started with today's show.
I'm the founder of Smiling House which is a Swiss company based here in the Swiss apps in in Gstad. We are focusing in a small niche that's called the luxury segment in the vacation rental and we're doing a lot of direct booking.
Talk a little bit more about your model, talk a little bit more about the type of clients that you work with because I think that would help everybody sort of realize where you're coming.
