We are a retired couple who are experienced exchangers having done house exchanges over about 25 years since our 4 sons were between 3 and 20 years of age, but just about 5 years on this particular house exchange site. We are now a large, and getting larger, family of 17 !! Unfortunately, for us at home in Ireland, 13 of the 17 live in Brisbane, and these include the 7 grandchildren growing up at a distance from us and we miss interaction with them all every day! Hence our desire for exchanges in Brisbane! We are also open to all other offers! Check out Sligo.ie for information on our town
