Hi, I'm Ruth
I work as a psychlogist and as a homeopathic practitioner and I have been living in the beautiful Pinzgauer Alps since 1973 , in a little village called Gries, 90 kilometers south of Salzburg. Before, I lived in Viena-Austria, Sao Paulo- Brasil ,Chicago- USA and Tel Aviv-Israel..
I have a wonderful 36 year old son who studied Philosophy in Vienna.
My hobbies: I adore travelling, photography, gardening, reading, classical music and meeting interesting people . My favorite travel destinations are the far East (so far I have been in China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapure, Indonesia (Bali), Malaysia), Taiwan, Japan, Sri Lanka, Maledive Island; New Zealand , French Polynesia and Samoa; South America (Brasil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador). I have also been to Central America (so far Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic), Africa (Kenia, Egypt, Marocco, Tunisia), USA, Canada and Europe (Norway, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Poland, CSSR, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, Greece etc.)
I have been for about 11 years on Airbnb and I love this site. I find it so nice, that every host adds a picture and description of himself, and also that every potential guest adds a photo and tells something about himself. It makes it so familiar. It is so different from all other booking sites. It is the first place where I look for a room or apartment when I travel next.
I have been renting holiday apartments in Salzburg for about 20 years and truly enjoy the contact with my guests, although unfortunately I am not always able to meet them personally. In case I can't, I send them instructions how to open the doors with the electronic locks and informations about the apartments, and if I am travelling, or am not in Salzburg there is a neighbor who speaks perfect English, Spanish, Dutch and German and who takes care of my apartments and my guests while I am not there.
