With a charming farmhouse inherited from his grandparents, he saw an opportunity to transform his life. However, the complexities of running a business and the uncertainty of the hospitality industry held him back. David was drawn to the idea of creating a welcoming space for travelers while enjoying a more independent lifestyle.
