We are a 50+ couple, quiet, non-smoking, and respectful that sometimes travel individually.
Kathy is massage therapist.
Tom is a retired Technical Writer who is exploring new hobbies, such as flying light aircraft.
This year Tom will be traveling with his sister and her husband (both over 50 and retired).
Our dates are fixed, as we will be in Amsterdam following a 10-day family tour of the Czech Republic.
Tom has been to Amsterdam multiple times. His sister (Lorna) and husband (Craig) will be visiting for the first time.
Craig has difficulty walking, so nearby access to public transportation is important.
Our hobbies include skiing, and learning to fly airplanes.
Locations in cities and near public transit are preferred.
(We don't mind a little noise and energy.)
We have had successful multiple exchanges with others in Europe.
