Our family of four live in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. We are keen travellers and both work in schools. My husband is a high school teacher and I am a Guidance Counsellor. We have two young kids (ages 5 and 3). We’ve had many adventures already with them. We are keen to try home exchanging as a way to travel during our school holiday times
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.
We live in a quiet cul-de-sac. Our house backs on the bushland. We frequently see koalas in neighbouring trees
A brand new pool (built 2024) to enjoy and keep cool in the warmer months
Large and spacious outdoor dining area
Huge yard with trampoline and swing set (monkey bars also available but not pictures)
