Sarah
We are a married couple with a 2, 7 and 8 year old who we are home educating. We loved travelling pre-kids and are now looking to instill an adventurous spirit in the children. When we visit a new place we always try to travel around to find local special spots and hidden gems. I can speak Spanish and a little French.
We can be quite flexible but not completely spontaneous due to work commitments.
Our listing is our main and only home and therefore swaps will need to be simultaneous. Alternatively, we can host PLU in our spare bedroom if you're happy to share our family home with us. There are 2 single beds with space for a travel cot/airbed.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
