I'm a recently retired elementary school teacher. Traveling is my favorite pastime so I try to take several trips each year. In the past I have spent my summer vacations for long term home exchanges in Europe. Now that I'm retired I'm able to more flexible with travel dates. I like to spend extended time in one place so I can take part in the culture and community. Although I've been all over the world there are many countries I would still like to experience. Also I'm interested in exploring more of my own country and would

like to arrange some short term exchanges within the U.S. I travel alone or often with a friend or family member. We are experienced exchangers,adventurous, and easygoing. I've completed exchanges all over the world through Homelink and another organization since 2000. I'm looking forward to making many new Homelink friends in my retirement.
