My family is my adorable super educated mini schnauzer Foster , myself , Joana 65 years old and my nephew Salvador 34. We are from Portugal, Lisboa. We have lived in London for 2 years, and in Brasil / Bahia for 8 years and also in Madrid for 1 year.
Salvador lives with me since he’s 4 years old. Foster is a 5 years old cute experienced traveller as by now he already knows 14 countries in Europe.
I am retired, Salvador is a full time volunteer in World Food Bank ( since we came back from Brasil) . We have home exchanged about 25 times and are extremely clean and organised. We expect the same from our exchange partners. As I have spent a great time of my childhood in France ( my grandmother was french) I am very fluent in several languages (although my native language is portuguese the site didn’t have the option.)

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
On a range of 15 km : there’s at 1.5 km the main village of Azeitão , www.azeitao.net with two wineries www.bacalhoa.com and www.josemariadafonseca.com. At about 12 km the most beautiful beaches in the www.arrabidanaturalpark.com with outstanding views. At 15 km the city of Setubal with it’s reputed among the most beautiful in the world market with the best fish in the world. From there a ferry (or private not expensive www.naturalparkbouttours.pt. ) takes you in 30 minutes to kilometres of white sand beaches ( Madonna and several celebrities decided to have houses there) and horse riding on the beach is a must. Towards west there’s Sesimbra a beautiful white fishing village which you can reach by bus from almost front door to my home..
And in 30 minutes you are in Lisboa with it’s stunning light and lots to explore.
About 1 hour from azeitão there are several different places to visit such as Sintra , cascais , obidos, evora etc. A book with information is on my desk for your night homework ???
