An Exciting New Chapter for Our Family

This week is more of a personal episode where I am sharing the decision around us selling our 'finally' finished beautiful home in Gymea Bay.  This home has been a long renovation of nearly 14 years and we have had many ups and downs along the process.
But we have decided it's time for us to move and and create something new.  Life is too short to stay in the one place for too long and I believe that exciting things come from change.
So, if you are someone who also has a desire to make a change in your life, tune in and hear all about our new adventure and our reasoning behind it.

What is your Why Behind your Holiday Home

We all have different reasons for purchasing a holiday home, for some it's just about the money, but for most it has a lot deeper meaning.  If you tap into that and bring that through into the way you look after your guests, communication with them and create memorable guest experiences it will ensure that they will have a holiday to remember and talk about for years to come.
 
In this episode I share a little of my own personal life and journey of my why - and reasons behind why I am so passionate about owning a holiday home.
