Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have been exchanging homes (mainly from our Australian home) since 1997. We ask you to respect our home as we will do for our partners and leave as you find it.
We have always found this to be a wonderful way to travel, to meet people and enjoy other cultures.
Our preference is to travel out of peak times and we are open to all offers at all times, as we are able to do non-simultaneous exchanges.
We have a Ragdoll cat. He will need food and water and the odd brushing.
