We are a retired couple in our sixties/seventies who enjoy travelling and exploring new places.
We occupied professional positions in education and commerce but are now thoroughly enjoying our retirement.
We have lived in Paraparaumu for 12 years and really enjoy the neighbourhood with kind and helpful friends and neighbours. We have had many happy times touring and exploring the fascinating places.
We have two adult children, a daughter and son-in-law living in Wellington and a son who lives in London.
Our Yaris vehicle could be an option in any agreement. We thoroughly enjoyed an Australian exchange during 2009 and an extensive exchange to the United Kingdom during 2010 which envolved three exchange homes.
We had further fabulous exchanges to Australia in 2011,2012 and 2013.
We are a house proud couple and promise to treat your home with the same love and care we give our own home.
2013 - Exchange required to either Wales or near London - suitable weather for both exchange couples.
