About the host

Hosted by Sulha

Host profile image
I am an entrepreneur, software developer, love to explore and learn new things. I am originally from South Asia, and have made Canada my home since 2002. I love to perform circus arts (aerials), contemporary dance, and lately have bene exploring the intersection of dance and Eastern spirituality.

The guests I meet through hosting add vibrancy and beauty to my life, and I wish me and my place does the same for them. This is a lovely place with great energy and I love sharing it with people who appreciate the beauty and are sensitive and are inspired by the energy this place holds.

Why they chose this property

I was working in Peterborough at the time I bought my place and I fell for the deep energy surrounding this area, and the land the house sits on. After moving here I found the neighbours friendly, caring, most of them have open doors where we can drop by without calling and have a good chat. The Robert Johnston forest trail is close by, so is the river. And the town is a quick drive away when I feel the need to visit a cafe or the canoe museum. 🌲🍂
