We are an active retired couple and have been home exchangers for 10+ years. Other countries and cultures fascinate us and we never tire of travel. We are quiet and easy-going people who enjoy simple things - a local cafe - a long walk in a village. As avid gardeners, we will gladly take care of yours. Open to traveling almost anywhere.
