I have already enjoyed a number of exchanges and look forward to more. I would love to have an exchange with homeowners of a canal boat in the UK or Europe. I have recently retired from teaching. I am part of a large family and have 5 adult children of my own - all now independent. I have travelled overseas many times and, because I was born in Fife, I am drawn to Scotland specifically but to the UK generally. I love visiting NT properties when I visit the UK and I enjoy live theatre. I have a bicycle and like to cycle along the Geelong esplanade - or taking it further afield on the back of the car in fine weather. Though I live on my own, I am often joined by one of my sisters or one of my daughters when travelling.

Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
I'm particularly interested in an exchange to Scotland in 2022, and the east side of Canada but will consider any offers from anywhere.
My home was completed in January, 2014. An hour from Melbourne, it has two spacious, separate, completely self contained living levels. Both levels have an open plan kitchen, living and dining area and two bedrooms. The downstairs 'apartment' is available for non-simultaneous exchanges. The bedroom downstairs has an ensuite and walk in robe.
This is a quiet home with a north orientation. My home is just off Melbourne Road about 3 minutes north of the large regional city of Geelong and about a 7 minute walk to a train station which is on the Geelong/Melbourne line. It is located in Rippleside opposite acres of public parkland and sports ovals and the historic bluestone Customs House. It is 300 m from the St Helens boat ramp and marina, 20 minutes to the Great Ocean Road and 25 minutes to the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula wine region. The historic town of Ballarat is about an hour's drive from here. It is 3 minutes from the freeway network which leads to anywhere you would like to go in Australia. It is also 15 minutes to Melbourne's second, and much less busy, airport with domestic and some flights to South East Asia.

Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
My home is close to the beaches beside the large regional city of Geelong, the only UNESCO City of Design in Australia. It takes only a few minutes to walk to the marina at the end of my street and a few minutes more to reach St Helen's Park beach and Rippleside Park beach; 7 minutes to the North Geelong Station and a stunning 30 minute walk along the beach path to Geelong's pier, cafes, and Eastern Beach and its park. It is a 5 minute drive to the Pakington Street eateries, 10 minutes to the Queen's Park Golf Course and less than an hour to the famous Brae Restaurant in Birregurra. There is a new ferry terminal a few minutes from my place built specifically for the ferry to Tasmania which now makes Tasmania very accessible. Geelong is about 20 minutes from beautiful Torquay on the coast which begins The Great Ocean Road, an Australian National Heritage-listed 240-kilometre stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia.
