The family were very friendly and engaged in advance of the exchange. They provided a lot of information about things to do, and kept in touch with news during their stay. Their home was ideal for the places we wanted to visit, like the national computing museum and bletchley park. London was an easy reach by train too.

Couple with adult children who enjoy travelling, walking and sailing
We are a family of 4, Chris, an analyst with the national water company, and Beverley, a former civil servant with the Scottish Government, now working as a management consultant in the not for profit sector. We have 2 children, Jessica who is 21 and Adam who is 19. Jessica has recently graduated from university so wont always travel with us. Adam sometimes has his own plans. We have looked after many pets as part of previous exchanges. We have exchanged for many years and our children are used to being in the home of others.
We also have a beautiful cat called Martha. If you are not able to look after Martha for some or all of your stay, we can make alternative arrangements for her.
