ABOUT US

During the past year much has changed, including attitudes and priorities. It has ever been that the country migrates to the city and now it's the reverse. The COVID experience has convinced many to escape the crush and find better, more open worlds for themselves and their families, existing and future. They have discovered what they can do without and perhaps more tellingly, what they cannot do without.
