The Story Behind WildSpring
“When we traveled, we liked to stay in guest houses or cabins, trying to get away from the herd of elephants that always seemed to stay in the room above us or the pack of hyenas in the room next door.” – Dean & Michelle, owners.
Tired of the hectic and crowded life in Los Angeles, US, the couple began to dream of one day being able to have a life and make a living at the same time.
While on vacations, they would often imagine what it would be like to move there, buy a house, and open a guesthouse. This was the very beginning of WildSpring and slowly the dream grew into a reality.
