We are a retired couple who have enjoyed many exchanges, in fact over 60 although we are new to Homelink. Laurel loves being a grandmother, keeps busy with various volunteer groups and enjoys cooking, in her past working life she owned a health food store. Jim is a retired Architect who loves history, especially visiting the ancient and not so ancient places all over the world. He loves caring for his garden, painting and creating unique pottery. We have a holiday home only about an hour from our apartment, which means non-simultaneous exchanges are easy.
We both love travelling which in our retirement we have already done extensively. Already we have many great experiences, enjoyed various cultures, met amazing people and enjoyed wonderful food and wine. We love the home exchange way of travelling and are looking forward to more experiences.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
As mentioned previously we are close to many attractions.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have a holiday house about 1 hour from our apartment which we are happy to stay at, making our apartment available for non-simultaneous exchanges. We sometimes will consider exchanges that aren't on our wish list, places we had never considered visiting but when offered have been special holidays.
