We are family of four. Our children are 12 and 10 years old.
Given our profession and the age of children, our holidays revolve around UK school holidays.
We have experienced a few home swaps and have enjoyed the comfort, friendship and availability of the local knowledge. We are looking to repeat the same in Canada during the next summer holidays
We work at the local hospitals and we love travelling. Our kids are well adapted to international travel and are always looking forward to the next trip.
