General overview
Our home is in an amazing part of Austin TX. There are several parks only 1-3 blocks from our front door. We have a supermarket, movie theater, stores, Children's Museum, swimming pools and restaurants also in walking distance. To see the rest of the city there is public transportation nearby. We are 3.5 miles from downtown Austin where you can see the capitol building and also the university of Texas campus. If you want to explore more of Texas, driving to San Antonio to see the Alamo is good for a day trip (about 1.5 hr drive). Also visiting Houston (2.5 hr drive) is possible also. There are small towns near Austin that are nice to explore.

Sofia
Hello! We are a family living in Austin, Texas. We have two kids, Santiago (age 13) and Lucia (age 10) and a sweet dog named River. We love to travel and would like to get more travel abroad. Aaron and Sofia were part of SERVAS when they were in their 20s and traveled in Europe meeting some wonderful people through that group. When Sofia was a child her family did several reciprocal exchanges and that’s why we’d love to try one for our family. We'd like to bring our well behaved dog along occasionally.
