SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2018. Our daughter, who lives in Richmond upon Thames, is being married in Barcelona early October and we would like to spend time with her in London before and after the wedding. Non simultaneous may be a possibility.
MARCH 2019 TO OCTOBER 2019
Our daughter and grandson will be living in Richmond upon Thames and we would like to spend time with them in 2019.
For long term exchange we would prefer easy access to London, ideally but not essential in South West .
We are also happy to consider a number of shorter exchanges in UK and Europe to allow us to spend maximum time in the northern hemisphere.
Non simultaneous may be an option.
We have been travelling the world together since 1974 and on retiring in 2003 discovered Homelink. Since then we have completed almost 40 exchanges ranging from 2 weeks to 7 months, many within the UK.
We are able to provide references if required.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Ephraim Island is located at the quieter, more relaxed northern end of the Gold Coast, yet within easy access to the glitz and glamour and other activities that Surfers Paradise and Brisbane offer.
From our island home, an easy ten minute stroll across the bridge takes us to Paradise Point village. Here, we have convenience stores, butchers, bakers, pharmacies, doctor and dentist, as well as a variety of cafes and restaurants.
Three large supermarkets and a shopping mall are just 3km away.
