We joined Homelink in 1994 and have done at least 10 exchanges, in France, England, Japan, U.SA., Belgium. We are both retired, a librarian and an interpreter. We have travelled extensively, starting in the mid sixties when we hitchhiked around Europe and North Africa. We are active seniors who spend our winters in British Columbia where we ski, both downhill and crosscountry, snowshoe and hike. We cycle all summer, and have enjoyed cycle touring on our own, in Canada, the US., and Europe.
