We are a well travelled family of four. We have lived in three countries over the years and are now firmly based in London. We have swapped very successfully with a family in Berlin, when our children were young and now have our cozy little holiday cottage in Cumbria we would like to start swapping. I am an Art and Design educator working in a Senior school and David works as a Financial analyst. Our eldest is studying away from home and our youngest is soon to start her undergraduate studies. We love to spend time in the city but equally love the great out doors.
