Something about ourselves
We are John and Julie, semi retired and enjoying home exchange in other countries, plus shorter exchanges within Australia! We enjoy the outdoors, and would love to experience small country towns or large cities. Mostly there will be just the two of us, but may on occasions be accompanied by family or friends (by arrangement with our exchange hosts). We are flexible with duration of exchange, and would love to hear from you with your suggestions. We have enjoyed exchanges to Canada and France, and within Australia, and would be happy to supply references if required. We'd particularly like non simultaneous exchange to Mediterranean or Carribean countries. A white Christmas or skiing holidays also are high on our list. Please contact us - we'd love to hear your suggestions and will answer all emails.  marks the location of this home
