I am Evelyn (meanwhile early retired from business consulting) from Germany. I have made La Palma (Canary Islands) my new home. Usually I travel with friends or my grown up kids. I have two well educated dogs and I would enjoy pet care (I've already had horses, dogs, cats and fish included in my exchanges). For me, home exchange is not only a cheap way of traveling but the best way to come to know the country and its people. I am an experienced exchanger and will treat your home with the care and respect that I expect you to show to mine. As of 2022 I've accomplished 50 - all very positive - home exchanges.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The island is a dream for walkers and people interested in volcanoes and the history of the earth. Just below the village you will find two volcanoes (from 1677 and 1971). As the island is very small you can explore it quite easily.
