About the host
Hosted by Karl Mawhinney
Hey it's Matt! Originally from Upstate New York, I’ve lived among Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan for many years. I love travel, and also lived in Osaka, Japan for almost two years. Japan was truly unique and remains one of my favorite memories. As an avid traveler, I love discovering new places, meeting new people and having different experiences.
You may also hear from Karl and Alyssa, my co-hosts. They're also transplants to Brooklyn and lived and worked here for years. Between the three of us, we'll have plenty to share as far as what to do and where to eat!
As relatively new hosts on VRBO, we're excited to help our guests have a great Brooklyn experience. The diverse communities, food, art, smells, sights and sounds of “BK” makes it one of the coolest places on earth. But, it’s changing fast, so visit soon before it’s identity transforms to something new. Look forward to hosting you!
