About the host
Hosted by Jodi
Hi! I'm Jodi. I was raised in Ames, Iowa and attended Iowa State University. I am a real estate investor and love to remodel homes. I enjoy traveling year-round and always stay at a Homeaway when possible. I furnish my Homeaway properties according to the type of places I enjoy staying at (clean and meticulous). That extra attention to detail goes a long way! I am looking forward to sharing my experiences from my travels and offering a welcoming vacation rental. I truly look forward to hosting you!!
