Minerva  overcame cancer and became very strong in her advocacy to promote healthier life style, inspiring everyone with her knowledge and personal experience.   She started her business in short term rental during her first 4 years in Kelowna, hosting guests in their Dilworth homes. Traveling to different countries was inevitable with family members working on cruise ships, homes in the Philippines and Italy.  She had been to 96 countries so far and promotes the Okanagan Valley to be one of the most beautiful places to live.
