We are in our early 60's and love to be active and spend time outdoors in all seasons, whether it is walking, hiking, biking or skiing. We like to cook, read and listen to music and I enjoy doing many kind of hands-on projects and painting. We both love exploring new places...walking through neighborhoods, trying out restaurants and visiting museums, historic sites and other cultural attractions. We live outside of Boston and recently bought a country home in Lyme, New Hampshire where we spend many weekends. Our New Hampshire home is available for exchange all year; our Boston area home is mostly limited to summer months as I still working as a teacher. While we listed a few countries, we are open to traveling to many places!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is located in Lexington, a lovely town with parks, bike paths, historic attractions and a bustling town center. From Lexington it is a quick drive or bus ride into Cambridge and Boston (12 miles) home of Harvard and many others universities and cultural attractions. There is a huge variety of day or weekend excursions to visit beach beautiful places like Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and to small lively cities like Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Portland, Maine. The White Mountains are 2.5 hours to the north, and New York City is 4 hours to the south. We have a second home in Lyme, New Hampshire also available to use. I have posted some few photos but will post more soon!
