Eileen and I are retired and enjoy travelling. We have had prior house swaps in Ireland and southern France, both of which were very positive experiences. Because we are retired we can be relatively flexible on travel times.

We have two daughters and four grand children, not part of this swap: One daughter lives about 10 minutes from our home and can be available to answer any questions if they arise..

Our first language is English. We can also communicate in French if spoken somewhat slowly.

Our prior house swaps have included a car, and we are definitely advocates of including a car in the swap. Our vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee suitable for transporting 5 persons. This vehicle includes a resident sticker that is needed for convenient parking at Manchester's "Singing Beach"
