Hi: I am a single woman, a bit more than middle aged. I work in international relief and development. I sometimes travel on my own, but am often joined by one of my adult children and/or my best friends, a couple my same age. I have completed over five exchanges and am a well reviewed airbnb guest. I love home exchanging as I see places from a far different perspective when making a temporary home. Thankful to be able to travel over the next few years and look forward to exchanging once again.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is calm and quiet with nice, well-lit, safe streets for walking. A nearby grocery, bakery and wine bar are 4-5 blocks away and downtown Santa Rosa is an easy bike-ride or very quick car-ride away. Guest membership at a nearby gym, pool and tennis club could be arranged. The ocean is a 40 minute drive, and many public parks are within 2-10 minutes by car. There are seasonal farmers markets, flea markets, concerts in public places and a well-respected summer theatre company at a local college.
