We are a couple who have 2 boys, 19 and 17. I am a teacher and Paul is an electrician. We both love to renovate old houses and pieces of furniture. We have travelled using house swaps to France, Germany, UK and Switzerland where we have enjoyed skiing. We would love to try the slopes of Canada and the US or spend some time in France
