We got married in 2010 and have lived in several cities but moved to Nashville in 2013. Pete is a "why not?" guy, always up for an adventure, curious, and a man of many hobbies. He loves everything from kayaking to knitting. His smile and laugh are infectious, and he loves talking to anyone about anything. His professional passions include digital wellness and software development for non-profits.
Cameron loves organizing anything and especially enjoys crossing things off lists. :) She puts a lot of energy into keeping our house tidy and cozy and is constantly making little tweaks. She likes sweatpants, arts & crafts, the art of gift-giving, snail mail, and observing human interactions. She seeks anything authentic -- people, experiences, words. Her professional passion is writing -- specifically about grief and loss (we are bereaved parents).
Traveling with us is our living daughter, who was born in 2018.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Visit Music City USA and the home of country music! We are convenient to the airport and walkable to a train or bus that drops you at the center of the action downtown in 12 minutes, rain or shine. From live music every night of the week, to day trips to Mammoth Cave National Park or historic Franklin, to several quirky shopping districts and a huge restaurant scene, Nashville will keep you entertained.
Our home is a one-story ranch in a beautiful '50s neighborhood with a historic overlay. Our neighborhood is friendly and charming, where every house has its own unique look. There's always someone taking a walk, whether with a dog or a stroller or a friend. We are walking distance to new restaurants featuring hot chicken, Mexican, Indian, a vegan cafe/bakery, and a cool pizza and beer joint.
Our home has three bedrooms: a master with a half bath, a nursery (not available for use at this time), and a guest bedroom with a pullout couch (queen size with memory foam mattress). There's also a full bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, TV room, and two-car garage. The backyard is fenced, and we have a fire pit and sitting area on our back patio. Our home is tidy, cozy, and comfortable. We love it and think you will, too!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
In our neighborhood, kids still ride bicycles, and Boy Scouts collect items for the food pantry door to door. Neighbors watch out for each other; we know all of our immediate neighbors and several further afield. The neighborhood consists of several looping streets (great for walks) and has a historic overlay. We live tucked deep in the neighborhood, so the street doesn't get much traffic. We've never had any instances of crime. We take walks almost daily here!

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our neighborhood is walkable to several new and interesting restaurants. We live about 10 minutes from the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills, and Opryland Hotel. We are very convenient to many trailheads on an extensive greenway system. We're five minutes from Nashville International Airport and are near major highways with easy access to downtown (although you also can get downtown with no highways, in about 10 minutes on a secondary road). Nashville attractions are everywhere! Museums, music, restaurants, events, etc. We have the Country Music Hall of Fame, performing arts, major and independent movies, many shopping districts, every cuisine, Predators pro hockey team, Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, singer-songwriter showcases, parks, and the list goes on and on... Also, Nashville is a major healthcare city. We have many world-class health facilities, including Vanderbilt Medical Center.
We've made a welcome guide that we will provide to anyone staying in our home (once all parties have agreed to an exchange). This guide explains in detail anything to know about our home, plus all of our recommendations for everything from groceries and pharmacies, to restaurants and sightseeing.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We tend to prefer house swaps of at least two weeks in duration.
Cameron is a neat freak, so you'll get the place in tip-top shape and will receive clear communications from her. Please treat our home like it's your own, and we'll do the same!
Please, no extra or surprise guests beyond who's listed on your profile.
No parties or drugs of any kind, but a glass of wine is always encouraged! :)
Important note: This house swap requires the care of our two rabbits, Alfred and Otis. They are five years old and lots of fun. They take about 5-10 minutes a day to care for, and it entails freshening the litter in their hutch (which is in our garage), giving them some hay and pellets, and checking on their water. All of the supplies are provided. If you happen to be an animal lover and would like to play with them, feel free! No pressure, though.
