We are Gene and Chris Smenos. Gene, a former network manager for a telecommunications company and Chris, a recently retired educator. We are originally from Chicago Illinois and moved here permanently ten years ago. We have two grown children and two grandchildren. We enjoy sailing, swimming, biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing, theatre ,cooking and entertaining.
We like to travel but not as tourists. We enjoy relaxing, unhurried visits for friends and family.
Home Exchange is a practical alternative to tourism.
We are looking forward to visiting another country as a resident - and allow someone to experience our home in the same way.
We care for our home in guest-ready condition and would do the same for your home.
We have exchanged before successfully and we are hoping to arrange an exchange some time in advance in order to get to know our fellow exchangers via email/skype to see how best we can facilitate their stay.
