Became a member in: 2007
Renewal Date: 15/Jun/2025
We are empty nesters now, though we both still work. Vivian is a Realtor and Rich is an IT Professional. We love to travel and explore new places. We especially enjoy our travels with Homelink and have gathered a lot of information from the members about the community in which they live. We do have two children but they are adults now but they have traveled many times with us and will probably join us on future home exchanges.

First week, we visited NASA, Cocoa Beach and surrounding. Then we went by cat to Fort Lauderdale,Miami, Everglades and Key West. It was very nice and we enjoyed the warm weather, the beaches and the good "Cocktails" in Miami. The last days, we met Vivian and Richard, they were very friendly, they host us and we cooked and ate together. We have had a very nice time in Florida, thank so much.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are interested in all kinds of exchanges at any time of the year but are also open to short or long weekends within Florida and nearby Georgia. We are very happy to host families as well as to be non-simultaneous. We would be exceptionally interested in homes or apartments that are in urban areas and/or connected by short rail system where we can walk to many interesting tourist sights. Some cities that come to mind are London, Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, New York, San Francisco, Barcelona, Vienna, Prague, Montreal, Zurich or other cities in Switzerland, Milan, Florence, Venice, and many more. We are also interested in islands in the Caribbean and off the coasts of Europe.
HomeLinker since 2007
We have a beautiful roomy home with ac, all stainless appliances, Internet TV and screened in pool area. Baby fencing available for pool if desired. The house is a ranch (one floor) with a second floor bonus room with bathroom, across from a natural park and on a lake. Master bath has a jacuzzi tub for two. Florida is fun in the sun. Although it is known for amusement parks, there are an abundance of natural wonders, like viewing Manatees in the winter and Bioluminescent Kayaking in the late summer and early fall.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is called Hunter's Creek and the subdivision Braddock Oaks because of the live oaks. I also has a children's playground. Behind our home is a small lake that you can take out our rowboat on. The area has every convenience in shopping, restaurants, pharmacies, medical facilities, movie theaters, all within 5 miles. We have walking & biking trails and facilities at many community parks to enjoy. The neighbors are friendly and helpful. It is not a mystery that people from all over the world come to Orlando to the amazing amusement parks: Disney World, Universal, SeaWorld, Legoland, Gatorland and nearby Kennedy Space Center and Busch Gardens. The Orlando Eye is being built to open in 2015. All in all, with a relaxing home and pool and the excitement of all there is to see in Orlando, it is the best of both worlds. You may also enjoy the natural wonders like luminescent kayaking in the summer and fall, or swimming with manatees in the winter, an airboat ride, or the beach.
