Personal Message
Whilst we have not experienced house exchange before, we are very much looking forward to having our first experience this year. Our 18 year old daughter is on Youth Exchange in Germany for a year and we are therefore limited in the time we can travel on this trip. We are looking at doing a few exchanges to various countries in Europe and the UK between October 25th and December 10th 2013. We have a cleaner who will look after our home to ensure it is clean and ready for the next visitors.
