We have retired from rewarding careers in public education. We have been home exchangers for over 27 years. We are always interested in nonsimultaneous exchanges to warmer climates in our winter (anytime during January thru March). Our home could be available anytime as we have another home where we often stay. We are hoping to find a home exchange in Germany to coincide with a bike and barge trip in September 2021, only if the covid19 pandemic is over. Although these are our current preferences, we are open to all offers.
