We are a family of three. My husband (Quang) and I are in our 30s and both work from home. I am a translator and he is a website professional. We have a daughter (Lily, born in 2017). We are originally from Vietnam but have made our home in Calgary, Canada. Since we both have flexible work schedule, we are open to travel any time of the year, but most likely will look for exchanges to coincide with my daughter school breaks, i.e. during summer, Christmas and new year holiday, fall break and spring break. Please feel free to reach out if you like to visit Calgary and stay at our house!
