If you could live anywhere in the world for six months, where would it be and why?
A small fishing village somewhere on the Italian coast, no question about it! There’s something about that laid-back, sun-soaked lifestyle that just speaks to me. The sense of community, the slower pace, the fresh air… and did I mention the food? That alone would seal the deal.
What’s your favourite part of working in the short-term rental industry?
Honestly, it never gets boring! Every day brings something new, and every property has its own story. But the best feeling? Watching a property go from a brand new listing to a guest favourite. That’s the kind of thing that makes you love what you do.
What’s one tip you’d give to someone looking to list their property as a short-term rental?
Add a piano! I know it sounds unexpected, but trust me on this one. It’s such an underrated feature and guests absolutely love it. There’s something about having a piano in a home that brings people together and creates memories that they’ll be talking about long after they’ve checked out.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I like to keep busy! When I’m not working, you’ll find me out on the golf course, tending to my bonsai trees, or sitting at the piano. But honestly, most of my favourite moments are the simple ones, good food, good laughs, and time well spent with family and friends.
