We are a family of four, but this year (until July) we are 5 because we have an exchange student living with us! We are Jenn, Clayton, Mia, Ella and Frederikke, and we've been exchanging through a different website since 2005. We love traveling and meeting new people, and we've done over 30 exchanges around the world, many of which were non-simultaneous, allowing us to make lots of new friends.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, a beautiful, historic, brownstone neighborhood, which is home to many families. Park Slope is just 15 minutes by subway from downtown Manhattan, but has much to offer in its own right. Within walking distance from our house are: Prospect Park (with zoo and carousel), The Brooklyn Museum (art), the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (dance, theatre, opera, film), Barclay's Center (sports arena, concerts, etc.) and many wonderful shops and restaurants. There is also a playground just a few minutes walk from the house which has fountains for children to play in and often has live music on summer evenings. Coney Island, with its famous amusement park and ocean beaches, is just a short subway ride away as well. Our block is terrific - safe, beautiful, lots of children - and our neighbors are very friendly.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We've always had great exchanges - you will find a clean house when you arrive, and we're sure we'll find a clean house when we come back. If your flight home is late in the day, it's always nice to come home to re-made beds. If it's not, then no worries. If we exchange, we have a house manual that we put together with lots of information. And we can communicate then about expectations, etc.
