Karen

Huntington Beach · Joined July 2022

Over 35 years vegan, I’m looking to open my home to other vegans and those who would like to embrace the diet (I’m happy to help if needed). I retired early from teaching high school and am looking for ways to supplement my income, meet great people, and save animals. It’s totally fine if you just want to do your own thing and have a place to hang your hat. I’ll be doing my own thing but will be available when needed.

My Lifestyle

I'm very active, athletic, and love the outdoors. I used to play beach volleyball, but my new favorite sport is pickleball. We have free public Pickleball courts one mile away, and now we have pickleball right here in my townhome complex.

Fun Facts About Me

I've had vegan dogs for the last 30+ years.

Hobbies & Interests

Pickleball, volleyball, rollerblading, games, learning French, and (trying to) learn to play the guitar.

Other

I've been vegan for 30 years and have mentored many people to become vegan. I'm happy to share what I know, and I'd be happy to help you in any way I can. I also have my 200 hour yoga training certificate, and I'd be happy to help lead yoga in my home gym/meditation room. I don't do massage, but I can refer you to a great local place or possibly have a great massage therapist come to the house (not included in the price, of course). I'd also be happy to prepare vegan meals for an extra charge if you let me know in advance, and let me know if you'd like just the food or if you'd like information on shopping/food prep, etc.

Getting around the area

There's an outdoor mall with Trader Joe's and other shops across the street. Beach is 2 miles away. It's a great location. Everything you need is within a couple miles. Lots of vegan restaurants. Huntington Beach is known as "Surf City" and is a popular tourist destination. Beautiful weather, and the beach is just 2 miles away. Huntington Beach, California, is in Orange County, which is conveniently located between Los Angeles and San Diego counties.

The space

I wish to make my place feel comfortable and welcome to you. The bedroom is not large, but it's comfortable for two. I’m new to this site, so I think we’ll learn more as we get to know how the space will be shared, exactly. I think that'll be on a case by case basis. I think by default we’ll keep to our separate spaces, but I’m open to sharing my space depending on the situation. You'd have access to park in the attached garage on the first floor. Then you'd walk up stairs to the third floor where your bedroom and bathroom are located. It's not necessary to walk through the other rooms in the house to get to your room, although it's not a private entrance. I have dogs, so there are gates up at the entrances of the kitchen and living areas. Mainly for that reason, I think it's best to expect to have a bedroom and bathroom only. However, there is a small fridge and microwave in the meditation room next to yours that you may also use.

The kitchen

I have a vegan kitchen. I’m flexible, so if you need something, just ask. I’ll learn more once I booked guests and see what people need and how I can best make your stay enjoyable. With the dogs, etc., it’ll be best to leave the cooking/kitchen to me, but I can be flexible upon request. I have provided your own small fridge and microwave for you to use upstairs for just heating up simple things like leftovers.

Other things to note

Quiet community. I have two well-behaved, clean little dogs (and sometimes other pups here). Parking is easy. Because the dogs bark when people come home, this may not be the ideal spot for guests who may be coming and going a lot. But since most travelers want to get out and explore during the day, usually that's not an issue for most people. My home is very peaceful.

Respect is key. Maybe I'll add more here later. This is a place to relax, not a party pad. (I don't wear shoes in the house, but I want you to do what makes you feel most comfortable)
