We had a five night stay with Sandrine and Francis and everything went smoothly. We are delighted that you welcomed us as guests in your beautiful neighborhood with pool. Sandrine and Francis (and Charlotte their cutie cat) are delightful and we thank you very much for accepting us as one of your thanksgiving guests. We hope to see you soon in Europe :) -
We were very fortunate to cat and plant sit for Sandrine. She explained the care instructions very clearly and also had a helpful guide with suggestions of things to do, including kids options knowing we have a young daughter. She went above and beyond, making sure we were comfortable. The house is in a lovely community with a pool walking distance which we used everday and never saw another person. The home was spacious, with a well-equipt kitchen and we especially loved the lanai for sitting out watching the squirrels and rabbits in the garden. We loved Sarasota with its many beaches ans hope to return!

Hello future friends!
We like to be out and about as much as our vacation time permits because life is so short! I speak Spanish and my husband and I both Speak English and French. We like to hike, swim, try local food, visit old buildings, and secret places and meet nice people! Francis is a program manager for a medical company and I am an occasional French teacher. We're interested in swapping for Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Guadeloupe or Caribbean, Europe, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Dalmatian coast, South America (Costa Rica especially), Puerto Rico or Spain. Pretty open to other countries too, just ask. We'd prefer swaps for 2-3 weeks for now, and later when we retire, will be for longer, maybe 2-3 months even. We are also interested in weekend swaps in Miami or the east coast of Florida, Louisiana, Texas or Vancouver/Victoria. We are not interested in winter vacations in the snow for now and we prefer the lower seasons like spring and Fall.
We like to host for 2-3 days too as long as you allow us to stay at your home if we ever come your way!
