We are an adventurous family of 4 (two boys aged 11&13). We love seeing the world and immersing ourselves in local culture. We have travelled to all parts of the globe with our kids - Thailand, Mexico, Costa Rica and Australia. A house exchange is not new to us as we spent 2020 on a job/house exchange in NSW, Australia.
