Home away from home
Trish and Darrel truly went the extra mile. Their house is lovely, clean and tidy, and perfectly located to explore WA. Our plants even looked better than they did when we left. We had a great exchange.

We are a couple in our 50s - Darrell works as a Commercial Manager on a Mine and I work part time in Bookkeeping/Accounting, as a house 'Mother' in a Boarding School, am qualified as a Funeral Celebrant and also do a lot of community work - in particular with Rotary Youth Exchange and a local Farmers Market.
We have two adult daughters and many 'exchange' sons and daughters who we have hosted over the years. We love to travel and when we do, like to see the country from a local's eyes. We have been members of Homelink Home Exchange for around 7 years and have completed several successful Exchanges.
We love Australian Rules Football (Go Eagles) and as Darrell is originally a Kiwi - he loves Rugby. We also like spending time with family and friends and enjoy great food. Darrell loves his red wine and although I am mostly a non-drinker - I do have a special passion for cocktails! We also enjoy live theatre and the occasional rock concert.
We have traveled throughout Australia, as well as to South Africa, Europe and Asia, New Zealand and the United States. In my work with Rotary Youth Exchange, I also dealt a lot with students from South America (mostly Brazil and Argentina) and so one day I will also get there. Unfortunately we speak only English - although we are very proud that our daughters between them speak German, French, Spanish, Italian and Danish.
We have loved hosting students from all over the world and think there is nothing so special as being invited into the home or life of a local when we travel.

Vårt hem
Beskrivning av hemmet vi erbjuda att byta bort
Lovely home in quiet family friendly area. Close to beach and shopping. Close to large open space for walking, cycling, sports. 4kms to beautiful Perth Beaches (40 min walk, 5 mins by car) and short walk to shopping village with two restaurants. Close to several Golf Courses including the World Class Lake Karrinyup (500m away).
Possible to bus (or walk approx 2.5km) and then frequent trains to City. Car available for exchange is a Medium 4 door Auto HAtchback (Suzuki SCross). Easy access to main roads for travel to any area of Perth/Western Australia.
Situated beside the Swan River, Perth (Pop 1.7 million) is a living picture postcard, with the best views of all from Kings Park and Botanic Garden - one of the biggest inner-city parks in the world and larger than New York's Central Park. The only Australian capital city where you can enjoy the beach lifestyle, relax in natural bushland, sample world-class local wines and watch an ocean sunset all within just 30 minutes of the city. It's also the sunniest state capital, averaging 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and boasting a string of 19 beautifully clean and uncrowded beaches, from iconic Cottesloe to the surf hotspot of Scarborough.
Home would suit from a couple (just use ground floor which includes living areas and main bedroom/ensuite) to large family group (3 additional bedrooms with double/queen beds, bathroom and another living area upstairs).
Swimming pool is solar heated so, as long as there is sun it is can get quite warm in water.
At the moment, we'd like to arrange an exchange for two to three months around Sep - Nov 2020. We don't know where - but we'd like to avoid bigger cities and find somewhere smaller that we can use as a base to explore wider. Perth weather is almost always good - but it is at it's best at this time of year - so if you think you would like to spend two months or so enjoying the world's best weather then - please contact us.
Currently we are particularly interested in South America, Portugal, France, Ireland, Germany - but anywhere would be considered.

Grannskap
Beskrivning av vårt grannskap och omgivning
Suburban neighborhood with mixed ages. Good shopping and recreation facilities as well as access to major transport routes.

Short walk (50m) to small park which leads via overpasss to large 124 acre open space for walking, riding and sports. 5 minute walk to bus, around 2km to train, 5 kms via bike path to beach (5 minutes in the car).

Våra preferenser
Vad vi gillar, vad vi inte gillar ... Här är våra preferenser och husregler.
We are heading to NWR in Germany (near Aachen) for a wedding in October. Ideally we would like to organise an exchange for there then. Failing that however, it looks like our home will be empty at that time, so perhaps someone is interested in a non-simulatneous Exchange? Ideally Spain, Portugal, Italy or rural France, but all offers considered.
We would be happy to have you in our home October 2019 with us travelling to your home or second Home at a later date.
We are also seeking a 2 - 3 month exchange around Jul - Nov 2020. We are not sure where and are open to suggestions (sell it to us) - but we usually like to steer clear of big cities and exchange to somewhere quieter, that we can use as a base for exploring wider.
Perth weather is pretty much always good - but is at it's best toward the end of that period. (During spring, days are warm and sunny with average temperatures ranging from 11.7 - 23°C (53 - 73.4°F). There is little rainfall at this time of year.)
We'd don't need much - a clean, comfortable, non smoking home that has room for the two of us - and possibly a vistor or two for a short time - and one that can be left for small periods if we decide to travel wider.
If you think you can manage and would like to spend a couple of months in Perth, Western Austalia at that time of year - please contact us.
