General overview
Our house is a typical American suburban home built in 1954, but has been modernized over the years. It has a well equipped kitchen with new appliances, modern heating and air-conditioning systems, a separate laundry room, office with computers and a new deck. The house has two levels with a total floor space of 3000 square feet (280 square meters). We live in a quiet residential area 15 minutes drive from downtown Portland. Our neighbors are a mix of young families and older people who are all very friendly. We are a few hundred meters from a city park. The park has a community center with a public swimming pool and gym.

We are a retired couple who enjoy traveling and meeting people from other cultures. We take pride in how we look after our house and will treat other homes with the same respect and care. Kerry is an avid gardener and cook and Nigel does much of the house maintenance. We are both keen dragon boat paddlers and have competed in the USA and other countries.

We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
