Retired from government position in PharmaCare, Married in 2020 to Neil. We excitedly intend to find our way around the world discovering Home exchange opportunities. We wish to care for and experience these host homes and their communities as if we belonged. As much as is possible without knowing the languages fully!:-)
We recently experienced a beautiful non simultaneous exchange in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Gorgeous views and warm weather were a perfect remedy getaway from a cold wet fall back in Canada.
Exchanges to: France, Switzerland, Italy and Spain June to October 2016.
Quebec, Canada June 15 to July 20, 2017
Mexico, Italy, France, Portugual and Britain 2018.
