We are a married couple, both are civil engineers, around 40 with a child. Besides having appreciation for music, dance, and art, we are fascinate with different local life styles, cultures, and people. We're particular enjoy being outdoor especially at ocean/water and mountain areas. We do ski and our little one has been to 3 European countries and the Caribbeans. Each of us two understands a tiny bit of French or Spanish. We are non-smokers, caring, responsible, and respectful. We don't have pets but do enjoy them. Our FL beach house will be available for exchange possibly in 2012. We had a wonderful exchange experience in Santa Cruz CA in 2009 and looking forward for 2010 exchange(s). ** We wish to visit Europe and Mont St Michel, mountain or ocean areas in North America, and Banff CAN. **  marks the location of this home
