I am looking for a long-term exchange in London or Europe; from 1 to 2 months. But open to suggestions.
I'm early sixties and passionate about travel, art and history. I enjoyed two fantastic house swaps in London, one for 5 weeks one for over 12 months (when I was working there).
Now I am retired I am keen to home swap and can be flexible with both locations and time.
