Happy to meet up and offer advice on the local area.
We reached out to Lisa on a bit of a whim, and she went out of her way to make the exchange happen for us.
Her house on Lough Bofin is spacious and was great for me and my two boys. The house was neat and clean, and the large garden was a bonus. Lisa was always easy to reach and super friendly in her communication.
There’s so much to do in the area. We spent a weekend at the Carvan and Lightrim Railway, which was a real treat—especially for the kids. This quirky collection of trains, planes and other cool gadgets is run by volunteers who are truly passionate about what they do.
Longford and the Corlea Trackway are also nearby, and the old coal mine is definitely worth checking out. There’s plenty to keep you busy for a few days.
The river network is great for renting a boat and exploring the area, whether it’s just for a few hours or a few days.
We had a fantastic time on this exchange. I’m really looking forward to meeting Lisa in person and welcoming her to Munich this fall!

Great exchanger, hassle-free, smooth communication and very efficient making arrangments. It was a pleasure to have Diana and her family stay at our holiday home on The Shannon. We are looking forward to our trip to Munich!

Lisa
We are a family of four, 2 adults and 2 teen girls, experienced exchangers, having completed 10 successful exchange trips pre- Covid. We are open to all destinations but would like to spend a week in Paris at the end of July. Would love a city break city for Christmas/ New Year 23/25’ anywhere in Europe. We are exchanging our holiday home so can do both simultaneous and non-simultaneous. Happy to exchange cars too.
