The most socially and intellectually aware people i’ve met in my life.
There is always this static when staying in another persons home- an attempt to be unheard and unseen. The pressure of crumbling eggs shells under your feet, your shoulders tensed up to your ears. Part of you fears feeling invasive other times we find ourselves traveling searching for something- an escape?
And that is what was so incredible here.
I walked in and JuliAnne was quick to accommodate what it was I needed moment to moment- it was so above and beyond having someone host you.
She graciously conversed with me about her awe inspiring home filled full of her artwork. She took a genuine interest in who I was and how I was.
And when that time came I needed that solitude to breathe and center within myself she excused herself but before exiting reassured me-
feel free to wander.
Don’t feel like you have to be contained.
And it was hard not to want to explore- the house it’s self was art.
It was like traveling through pieces of art- little worlds hidden from room to room.
I felt more comfortable here than I have at any family or friends home, I felt more compelled to visit here again than my only friends or family. lol.
I’ve traveled air bnb all over the country- I live in the wanderlust of diversity and discoveries found city to city and road to road.
So much money well spent doing this- however this was the first time I felt the home it’s self was an escape and reset.
Airbnbs have always been just a room, a storage center for my belongings while I toured my area. Never have I wanted to spend hours in one and felt so sincerely fulfilled.
This was a very happy spontaneous find.
