My name is Raymond and I am an urban planner who works in local government. I grew up in New Jersey and came out to California for graduate school and never left. I have been living my California dream for the past 20 years. For the past 7 years I was a short term rental host in Sacramento, CA. Recently decided to share my Santa Barbara getaway house and offer it as a short term rental with a 31 day minimum stay. I enjoy the outdoors and especially the California Coast and beach culture. I also love designing things and figuring out how things work, and I recently had this house built so its brand new. I enjoy a casual and bohemian style with global flare. The living room is inspired by recent trip to Morocco and plays with colorful textiles, rugs and desert imagery. I also speak several languages besides English, including Spanish and Portuguese, and I am learning Italian. So if you need someone to practice with let me know!
