We are experienced home-exchangers (25 international exchanges) and are currently 4 adults (two parents in the late fifties and two adult children (19 and 21), one additional adult son lives nearby) and love this first-hand experience of getting to know new countries through exchanging houses. We both are teachers (primary and high school), Claudia used to be a lawyer before she took on teaching, and we love our privilege to interact with young students on a daily basis. It would be fantastic to swap homes with suitable families and we do our best to turn your stay at our place into a fantastic one.
