We are a professional couple, 50 and 55 years, no children and we love nature, the outdoors, hiking and birdwatching. Traveling to the US and Canadian west coasts, the UK and Europe has given us some amazing experiences and now we are keen to try holidaying by home exchange. Our NZ exchanges have all been wonderful!
