His story

From Guyana to a new life in the United States.

Ravi is originally from Guyana. He moved to the United States to complete his education and build a future for himself and his family.

After a career as an engineer supporting defense contractor companies, Ravi retired from engineering. He now enjoys life in the United States with his children and spends his time welcoming students, medical professionals, international visitors, and other guests to Cleveland.

Hosting gives Ravi a way to help others pursue the kinds of educational, professional, and personal opportunities that shaped his own life. He offers direct communication and practical support while giving each guest as much privacy and independence as they prefer.

Beyond the guest house

Family, friends, and the life Ravi enjoys.

For Ravi, hospitality is personal. The same warmth he brings to time with family and friends shapes how he welcomes each guest.
