Retired - professional career couple. We enjoy travel, meeting new people, kayaking, birding, and history. We kicked off our retirement with a 3 month cross-country road trip from the east coast to the west coast of the USA. We especially enjoyed meeting new people, visiting museums, learning about new regions, trying new foods, and experiencing new landscapes. We travel frequently with a small travel trailer in the Northeastern US and Eastern Canada and look for opportunities to travel outside of our region. As young adults we lived in Europe (Germany) for 3 years and traveled extensively when work would allow.

The house is very clean and cozy. The Simmons’ were very hospitable; plenty of literature about the area and operation instructions for the household were thorough.

Read More...We recently completed our part of a non simultaneous exchange with the Simmons family. There home and information was perfectly prepared for us. We really enjoyed leisure drives to nearby fairs, lakes, hiking and fall foliage. Everything was well thought out for us from picking up the car upon arrival, to settling in for a few weeks, to an easy morning departure. The Simmons family are easy to communicate with and we appreciated their flexibility with this non simultaneous exchange. We look forward to welcoming you in our home in December!

Read More...We were very happy with our exchange with first time exchangers, Miriam and Roger. They seem like pros already. Their home on the edge of a town with great amenities and their central location in New Hampshire lend themselves to a lot of seasonal exploring this beautiful part of New England. They had prepared their home and information for us about their area very well. We really enjoyed our communication leading up to the exchange. They were so helpful and we felt very welcome in their comfortable home. Thanks for the great exchange!

Northfield and Tilton NH are 2 smaller towns at the mid-point in NH, there is extensive shopping available in Tilton. Access to the Lakes Region of NH is 10 to 30 minutes north, with many options for boat rentals, and recreation on small to larger lakes as well as other dining and cultural activities particularly from the end of May to mid-October. The capitol of NH, Concord, is a 20 minute drive to the south, with many choices for dining from casual, to international, to formal. Concord also offers excellent Arts, Theatre, and Music venues. There is a direct bus line from Concord to Boston that runs daily. If you are interested in a day at the Atlantic Ocean, you can get to beaches on the coasts of New Hampshire or Maine in about an hour and a half. Another possibility is travel north of our home in 40 to 60 minutes to the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) with hiking trails, stunning scenery, mountains. In the surrounding areas you will find local farm stands, country villages, and train rides.
