Arizona native Andria Metrakos Bufka found solstice and peace, along with love on the road to finding her home in Leelanau County.

Bufka conquered a lengthy career in the automotive industry, before moving to the Leelanau Peninsula and placing her roots for a quieter way of life.

Andria moved fulltime to the peninsula in 2013 and met her love, Bob Bufka, in 2014 when she needed help tilling a field. They were friends for years and then suddenly that changed, and now they have been married for four years.
