My wife and I are a British couple who moved into the San Francisco Bay Area, as newly-weds in the 60's. We planned to return to UK after a couple of years, but the area had us hooked and now, two daughters, two son-in-laws, and five grandchildren later, we are still here.
We are now retired, but remain active and make frequent trips back to Europe.
This year 2023 we have one trip planned and that will be to the UK. It will be a 5-6 week trip to be present at a special event in the middle of September.
We are looking for a simultaneous exchange with a partner who wishes to visit San Francisco and/or Northern California.
This is our full time residence, so this time that we are away, is the only time, this year, that our home will be available for any type of exchange.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is a three level, town house located in the heavily wooded Pacheco Valle Preserve

The house is one of six and has decks around two of its three sides. The decks are very much "out in the woods" with the deer, humming birds, turkeys etc.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Pacheco Valle Preserve is a steeply sided, heavily wooded valley, with homes only on the valley floor. Extensive walking and hiking trails (some quite challenging) exist throughout the area.
By road, we're approx 25 minutes (over the G.G.Bridge) north of San Francisco and, all that “The City” has to offer. If you don’t want to drive, you can always take the nearby ferry boat across the Bay and enjoy a beverage en route.
We’re 45 minutes South of Napa and the Wine Country and 40 minutes from Pacific Beaches.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
My wife and I are an active, but retired couple who are hoping to spend four or five weeks, September/October 2023, in the UK (England).
We are fairly new to home-exchanges community (5 exchanges), but over the years we have enjoyed numerous private homes while skiing in the Sierras and fully appreciate the importance of leaving a home, as clean and tidy as you found it.
