MORRY
We are a family of four (with 15 year-old twin boys), and all of us enjoy traveling the world, learn languages, take photos, go to art museums, shop in vegetable markets for fresh, local produce (and then go home and cook it for ourselves or friends).
We are avid home exchangers, completing over 70 home exchanges in the past fourteen years from Bali to Seattle. We have an all-wheel drive Subaru Forester that you are welcome to use to explore Northern California, from Monterey to Wine Country, San Francisco to Yosemite.
We have a therapy dog named Trouper that travels with us (domestically), and two kitties named Squeak and Sky that mind the house while we're away. Trouper is a sweet and well-behaved Great Pyrenees ('gentle giant') who volunteers at Oakland Children’s Hospital.
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.
