Hello. We are delighted to meet you. We are James & Donna Dick from Martin, TN USA. We are a retired couple, married (to each other) for almost 47 years. Now that our children are grown and gone, we love to travel. James is of Scottish descent and Donna's father's ancestors hail from Ireland. We hope to find some interesting couples to trade homes with so we can travel to these countries to investigate our roots. We are both very respectful and courteous. We would love to welcome you into our home and would care for your home just as you would.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our home is our treasure. Please help us keep it that way. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING inside of the house or car...EVER! We are both allergic (even to residual smoke). We will allow one dog, only if it is housebroken, but NO CATS. We are very clean people and prefer our home to be clean when we return and we will treat your home with the same courtesy. We prefer a car swap along with the house. We are not responsible for accidents and ask for an insurance waver for injury claims while you are on our property; again, we will provide you with the same courtesy.
