-- Planning a SABBATICAL in 2021 --
We are a family of four: Renato, Adriana, our 10-year old son and our 12-year old daughter. Renato is a professor at university and Adriana works as a teacher and course coordinator.
Renato has lived in Los Angeles while doing his Masters and Adriana, who is Brazilian/Italian, studied and lived in London. That was before getting married.
Traveling abroad is surely our family's greatest passion. We have visited 35 countries so far and have already taken our kids to 15. We can't wait to visit a new one with them. (Surprise us!)
We started home swapping at the end of 2015 and intend to continue until we are… old empty nesters! We’ve exchanged in Brazil, USA, Canada, Spain and Portugal and have done simultaneous, nonsimultaneous, guest points and hospitality swaps. All swaps undertaken through HomeExchange.com Our home there is #429721 We can provide recommendations if needed.
We are currently planning a sabbatical in 2021 and looking for long-term exchanges in English speaking countries.
Many of our adventures abroad are told at a travel blog: www.DiarioDeViagem.com

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
-- Planning a SABBATICAL in 2021 --
Our home is a beautiful and modern 2 floor house with a backyard and a play house. It is located in a gated community where there is a club house with multi sports court, swimming pool, club house, fitness center, barbecue room and playground for little children.
Bird's eye view of our condo: https://youtu.be/IUEs5s2A614
It is good for families with kids as we have children ourselves and therefore many toys and accessories to share including bikes for all.
There are two kitchens, one indoor and one outside where there is also a wood burning barbecue and stove.
It is airy, confortable, modern and illuminated. Perfect to enjoy Brazilian sunny and warm days. We love it!
Our neighbours are veeery friendly. We have been making friends for 10 years, since we moved to this place. They are more than willing to help us with visitors as they have already did with previous exchangers.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
First things first!
Our place is located in a condo so it offers many opportunities to interact with locals, get your hands dirty in the kitchen and meet people in their homes. Londrina is a welcoming city so it’s more than sightseeing, it’s about having experiences with people.
Despite being located on the outskirts of the city, our home is very close to the largest mall in this region where there's lot of shopping, restaurants, cinemas, bookshops and a Carrefour. It is a 10-minute-walk to this mall, Catuai Shopping Center. --> www.catuailondrina.com.br
Even more convenient than that, there are small businesses that can be reached in a 5 minute walk:
Fruttaria Premium --> https://goo.gl/maps/GKsa6tYzbjk7kA5F9
Food Emporium and Bakery Armazém Santana --> https://goo.gl/maps/DwnVpY5b85TASNVL8
Pizza & Burguer --> https://goo.gl/maps/3Qj3bTB8DmCuS6ki8
Aviva Coffee Shop --> https://goo.gl/maps/yJk5GPRpeZ5YSYV19
Supermercados Viscardi. --> http://goo.gl/mhiKfq
One interesting thing about this part of the city is the number restaurants in farms where it is possible to try traditional dishes from the countryside, hear country music and offer the kids opportunity to cuddle animals, run and have fun at the playgrounds.
These are a few:
