Irina
Hello!
We are a small international family currently living near Austin, Texas, and we love the idea of discovering places the way locals live.
I’m Irina, originally from Siberia and now based in Texas with my husband Richard and our son Dylan (10). Dylan is very active and curious — he loves swimming, football (soccer), drawing manga, and exploring new cities. As a family we enjoy being outdoors, good food, museums, and discovering neighbourhood cafés and parks when we travel.
We are new to home exchanging, but we are experienced travellers and we will treat your home with the same care and respect as our own. We appreciate comfortable, calm homes and we keep things tidy and organised.
Our home is in the Lake Travis / Bee Cave area near Austin, a beautiful part of Texas with lakes, hills and great outdoor activities, yet only about 25–30 minutes from downtown Austin with its music, restaurants and culture.
We also have two friendly indoor and outdoor cats. They are very easy to care for — they just need feeding and litter maintenance and are otherwise independent and relaxed. Cat lovers usually enjoy the company!
We are particularly interested in London exchanges, especially during the summer, but we are open to other destinations as well. Ideally we look for family-friendly homes for stays of one to several weeks, but we are flexible.
We will take great care of your home and are happy to share local tips about the Austin area to help you enjoy your stay.
Looking forward to connecting!
