We are a "not quite yet retired" couple with an “almost empty” nest. My husband, Doug is a health care manager and I am an Executive Director for a non profit society. We hope to find a house exchange that could include our young adult children (3 teachers & a plumber) or travelling with our friends. We had a wonderful exchange to Scotland in 2016 and had another exchange set up for this summer - but COVID-19 squashed that fun! We live in White Rock and are hoping are fed up being stuck at home. Anyone in BC interested in a house swap - even for a weekend? Maybe the Labour Day weekend?
