We like the idea of exploring places we've never been, urban or country, enjoying whatever an area has to offer. We're flexible with our time and open to planning a trip anywhere in the world. My husband has mobility issues so we look for homes that have a bedroom and bath on the main floor. Handicap accessible is a plus.
