I am a retired professional woman living alone. I usually travel alone as well, although sometimes I bring a female friend in which case we would prefer two bedrooms. Very very occasionally I might ask to bring my son and his family, but I would clear this 100% with the host before I made any plans.
I am particularly keen to receive offers from European Cities within easy reach of Bristol airport, for a simultaneous swap for a long weekend.
I would also like to receive offers from places in the UK

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
My home is situated within walking distance of the small town of Nailsea near to Bristol. It is about 20 years old fairly modern and very comfortable. The house faces west and the garden catches the sun nearly all day - so if the sun shines you can enjoy a drink on the patio. The neighbours are friendly and two couples in particular would always help you if they could.
I am an experienced exchanger having exchanged with people in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Florida as well as parts of Europe
This year 2021, I am only looking for exchanges in the UK, almost anywhere considered! If travel becomes easier I will be open to any offers except New Zealand and Australia, as I doubt if I will return.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
I would consider children, but I have very few facilities for them.
I do have a high chair, stair gates, cot and some of the usual paraphernalia for a baby.
You would be welcome to use my car if you are coming from abroad, but I doubt if I would use yours.
The garden takes care of itself, unless there is a severe heatwave. (I wish!)
