2025: July/August - We are looking for swaps in France/Switzerland/Northern Italy over a 2 month period. Get in touch, we will happily take a look.
Hi we are a family of 3 who love going on adventures whether thats close to home or aboard. We live out in the countryside so enjoy getting to experience things very different to us. As a couple me and my husband have backpacked around Asia & Africa and now we want to start experiencing the world as a young family. Our daughter is super adventurous and we can't wait to see her thrive on her travels.
We are home owners so are very respectful to others properties as if it were our own. We can't wait to start seeing more of the world!
We have a little dog who will come with us when we can or will stay at the grandparents when we are not home.
