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.
Robert Frost
~Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.

Why they chose this property
“Duck’s relative solitude and its vast array of neatly constructed rental homes make it ideal for families. That is, unless your family likes to go bar hopping until the wee hours, in which case you may be out of luck. ... Still, while we admit Duck would never make the list for top spring break party spots, boredom is hardly a threat here.” Duck, NC, Things to Do Duck things to do have a lot of tie to the ocean and sound that sandwich the town. Watersports are big, especially on the Currituck Sound. Outfitters can get you out on the water on standup paddleboards, kayaks and sailboats, and there's just as much focus on getting into or onto the ocean on surf or body boards and probably anything else that floats. Duck things to do stay dry too, though: Trails and quiet side streets make biking, running and walking a preferred activity here (and the town sponsors several 5Ks every year). Duck is also a center for yoga and fishing. For some, the most enjoyable Duck activity might be visiting a spa and getting pampered. Several of the most highly regarded Outer Banks spas call Duck, NC, home. (Here’s a local’s hint: Book Early.) Many of the things to do in Duck, NC, can be found in its soundfront Duck Town Park, complete with a playground, kayak launch, soundside boardwalk and amphitheater. This is the heart of the village, and the Town of Duck fills the park with activities in the summer. Then there are the art galleries, jewelry stores, gift shops, specialty food shops, farm stands, bookstores, spas with great products, surf shops, pet-oriented stores and so much more. Restaurants The charming self-contained village is full of top-notch Duck, NC, restaurants that draw locals and guests from all over the Outer Banks for, probably, the biggest variety of culinary adventures of any town.
