Hoffman is 70, trained as a civil engineer but now farms with peaches and cattle, occasionally consult to businesses and writes novels in his spare time.
Ninell is 60, studied applied mathematics and is now a programme manager in financial services.
We both love art, architecture, good theatre, classical music, reading (fiction, history, science), and travelling to interesting places.
Between us we have four adult children, and may occasionally invite one or two of them to join us.
We are regular exchangers, and enjoy the opportunity Homelink provides to get under the skin of a different culture, as opposed to being tourists, observing from impersonal hotels and tour buses. We will gladly introduce you to the rich cultural diversity of South Africa.
