Something about ourselves
[
]
We are Pam and Don, retired teachers, who love the Vancouver Island life style but long to see other parts of the world. We have just completed our first home exchange, a totally successful and memorable experience, in Germany. Many/most locations interest us and we are free to travel 12 months of the year for short or long term stays. Opportunities to spend the winter in warmer climates are always inviting but we also love sightseeing and touring in new areas.
