Lora
We are a family of six - Lora and Scott with kids ages 15, 10, 7, and 3. We are pretty experienced travelers (as guests and hosts) and love exploring new areas. We want to show our kids the world. The kids are respectful and experienced with pets and domestic animals. We are happy to take care of your pets and livestock (we have pets too and have lived and worked on farms for years). We are happy to explore any locale - urban, suburban or rural. We will always find something interesting to do or learn.
