About the host
Hosted by Gia Nicole Palacorolla
HELLO There! I moved to the OBX from Ellicott City, MD in 2013. I studied Human Nutrition, Foods & Exercise with an emphasis in Exercise & Health Promotion at Virginia Tech & put that knowledge to work on a daily basis as a Pilates Instructor at the only classical Pilates Studio in the OBX, The Presidio of Pilates! In addition to my education, my love for business & entrepreneurial spirit led me to Hosting! I CoHost multiple spaces in locations throughout the United States and as a Professional Referrer of hosting I take great joy in teaching folks how to start their own business hosting by themselves or with assistance. I have taught a course at the local church - The Path To Financial Freedom! I LOVE to TRAVEL - so reach out if you would like me to teach a course in YOUR home town in the US or Internationally!
Things that bring me great joy:
1. My relationships with my K9 Medusa, kitties Oli & Sassy, close friends & family, clients & guests!
2. Water (referring to all large bodies of water....not the beverage! ;)
3. Beach walks & Podcasts!
4. Meditation
5. Pilates
6. Quotes!!
I am grateful for every guest, & potential new host, I correspond with! I look forward to hosting YOU, your loved ones, and many more in the months and years to come...truly a labor of love! Should you need assistance in hosting your own property, I would be delighted to help you with that AS WELL!
Travel quotes that inspire:
~A good traveler has no fixed plans, & is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
~Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over & over again in the quietest chambers, that the mind can never break off from the journey.
Pat Conroy
~All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.
Martin Buber
~Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, & that has made all the difference.
