Come to the Heartland! The USA is so much more than the east and west coasts you see in the media! Minnesota, the Land of 12,000 Lakes, is the real deal!

The Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St.Paul) have city centers 10 miles apart. This is a beautiful metro area offering many activities for visitors. The Cities are well-known for many cultural amenities, including: live theatre, dance, art museums, science and history museums, and all kinds of music clubs and performances (professional orchestras, folk, jazz, etc.) Bicycle trails abound! Minneapolis offers bicycle rental stations all over the city.

I am a single, retired primary school teacher desiring an exchange home as a travel base. I prefer to see a smaller area in depth, rather than try to see it all in a short time. I have experience in foreign travel and I have done a successful year-long home (and job) exchange to the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have had 4 successful home swaps through Homelink. I will take very good care of your home and possessions, and trust you will do the same for me.

No smokers, please.
