I am a retired teacher and curriculum developer. I love travelling to satisfy my love of both history and geography and to enjoy the arts ,and the way of life in different places globally. At home I like to read, catch up with friends, listen to music, attend film screenings drama and concerts, enjoy the outdoors. Tempt me with an offer that motivates the senses and my curiosity. I have done over 30 exchanges (lost count actually) since about 2005.

Open to all dates | Australia |
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
SEEKING simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges: Especially in Europe, the United Kingdom, New York, New England (particularly for the autumn) and Vancouver once the coronavirus is controlled and international travel is again possible.
Ideally, a stay of one to three weeks or even longer can be considered at each location. If you are planning to travel around as I am you may be keen on a shorter stay.
I answer all emails. And I am open to other suggestions of where I should visit in Europe and North America and Asia !!!!
Every corner brings a new adventure. I am also prepared to consider non-simultaneous/hospitality exchanges.
I know some people say they want to visit Australia for our summer as winter is too cold. Melbourne's winters are NOT like the cold in northern Europe. It is closer to a Mediterranean climate.
For those who love good wines, fine foods, cultural and sporting events and magnificent scenery, or just a good relaxing place to visit then beautiful, cosmopolitan Melbourne is a hidden jewel - a must.
Close too to freeways leading to scenic places such as the Great Ocean Road, penguins at Phillip Island, wineries in the Yarra Valley, Wilson's Promontory, the historic goldfields, etc.
I am now an 'experienced' exchanger with about 40 exchanges completed.
Comfortable, well presented apartment in a very quiet but centrally located area.
Very good access to public transport being 15 - 20 minutes
from the city centre, museums, galleries, theatres, tourist, cultural and sporting attractions and shopping facilities. Modern bathroom and kitchen.
Car exchange available- 2016 automatic Toyota Corolla. 24 hour Broadband internet access. Washer/Dryer in the bathroom.
Currently the second bedroom is set up as the study.
A comfortable sofa bed (lounge with fold-out bed) is also provided in the study for a third person.
The 'central heating' is a reverse cycle heater/air conditioner.
The bathroom now has a walk-in shower, renovated in December 2018
