PLEASE NOTE - have moved from Brisbane to Kings Beach which is on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
We are an active retired couple who have completed 16 successful exchanges, mostly in Europe. We prefer exchanges of about a month so we can enjoy the local area, but can equally look at shorter or longer exchange opportunities. We have alternative accommodation with family so non-simultaneous is always an option.

Everything was near perfection in their house and they made us feel as if we were really at home. Also, they left great memories in our neighbours in Spain. The best result for our first exchange experience!!!
