About the host
Hosted by Sunny Huang

Lived in New Orleans for 5 years, I fell in love with Southern hospitality, the weather, and delicious food. I currently live in New York City, and always missed the sunshine and friendly people. I designed and decorated my home with my full heart and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do when you are visiting! :)
