I stayed at Regina's place (Jurek's co-host) for almost 5 months and I had a very good time there. Regina offered to come to pick me up at the airport when I arrived and she welcomed me with food she cooked and bought for me. She immediately made me feel at home. The house is wonderful and Regina has a very good taste for furniture. Everything is bright and colorful, cleaned and very well organized. The room I was staying in was big enough for a person and had all the space I needed for all my belongings. I really enjoyed the garden around the house, where Regina grows tomatoes ad herbs I could use for cooking. I really appreciated the effort Regina puts to make the house a very warm and welcoming place. I loved the fresh flowers she used to put in the living room and in my bedroom.
Regina helped me a lot during my first weeks, while I was getting used to the new environment. She showed me around and we also went for a trip to Cape Cod and Salem together.
With the Omicron surge in December, things became difficult because we had to wear masks all the time at home, trying to avoid being together in common spaces. Except for that, I had a wonderful time there.
