We’re a married, gay couple who are both recently retired. We love to travel. Robert is Filipino, which brings us to the Philippines and other Asian countries regularly. Marty loves Latin American cultures and speaks Spanish fairly fluently.
Marty has performed stand up comedy all over the Bay Area and a few other cities. He worked in media relations for a public agency until taking his well-earned retirement at the first opportunity.
Robert has an MBA and worked for a tech company for more than 20 years.
We have family in Vancouver, Manila, Soithern California, and Northern California.
We enjoy Atlantis cruises, hiking, kayaking, diving, snorkeling and exploring new cities.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Roomy, conveniently located condo on the top of a hill in a safe neighborhood. Ample parking and access to public transportation. The view of downtown San Francisco is phenomenal.

A Safeway with Starbucks and a popular Chinese restaurant is just down the street.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Diamond Heights is a residential community overlooking the city. The views are spectacular. Our home is in a condominium development, built in the 1960s. The residents are a diverse mix of retirees, gay couples, and young tech workers. We love to walk in the city. Because we're at the top of a hill, we can get a good workout walking down the hill in several directions to other neighborhoods, including Noe Valley and the Castro.
