Lumi
Hi! We are a Canadian couple with children who have left the nest. We love travelling, and enjoy new experiences, foods and cultures. Our Lakeside designer home is on the shores of Lake Erie, in the middle of the wine country of Southern Western Ontario and close to the Detroit border crossing to the U.S.A. This house is used as a short term rental and therefore, I available wiry a few months notice. The Lakeside house is our vacation lake house, located on the same area, only 15 min away from our permanent home. This house is available when we travel away.
We are quiet and mindful travellers, who appreciate the hospitality when it's offered and take pride in taking care of the homes we visit, like of our own.
We travel as a couple most of the time but sometimes we might have another couple joining us.
Lumi is a Physics teacher and Scott is an IT manager. We both can work remotely.
