I am the one on the picture, Diane. I organise a home exchange, with my friend or other dear friends, or my son, daughter-in-law and 2 kids, Mauro and Lauke. This depends from the period in the year and the destiny. I live in a street full of good friends and neighbours who are willing to help you when you are staying in my house. I am a psychotherapist and interested in actual politics, ecology, gardening, literature, music.
