Retired couple who love to travel. Interested in culture,nature, history, food, and meeting local people. For 2019 we are looking for an exchange in England. Another retired couple may want to join us. Our home is ideal for 2 couples, as there are bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor, with good privacy. We also offer a car for your use, a Toyota Camry 2015 automatic. We do not require an auto to be provided to us, although it would be nice. The best of California is nearby! Please contact us!
Kind Regards,
Sherry and Richard
