We're a couple whose 'kids' have flown the nest. We both still work - I retired as a teacher and now provide the admin support for Richard who is an Arbitrator. We have lived in the area for the last 20 years when we moved here from a 15-year stay in Switzerland. We love travelling and seeing the world so this houseswap idea feels like a great idea! Our daughter lives in Vancouver BC, hence our desire to make the city our first swap!

We live in a quiet street just on the edge of the village known as the capital of the New Forest. It's a friendly village which welcomes tourists all year round. The village has a good selection of shops and services - https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/explore/towns-and-villages/lyndhurst - and the grave of Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland is in the village churchyard.
