We live in desirable Monmouth County, NJ on a safe and quiet tree lined street. We have a very chic downtown, Red Bank, within 5 minutes. Red Bank has many shops/boutiques, fine restaurants, casual bistros, and lots of antique shops. Red Bank is also a very artsy town with many galleries and two Theatres with cultural venues (plays and concerts). Red Bank also has a river front park where you will find outdoor entertainment nightly in the summer. We are within 15 minutes of miles and miles of white sand beaches. All our beaches are beautiful, but they all have there own personality. I love Avon by the Sea for it's elegant boardwalk and beach overlooking a canal where we watch the parade of boats pass through from the river to the Atlantic Ocean; I love Ocean Grove for it's Victorian Houses & quaint Main Street with it's "old town" feel; I love our giant 24" pizza's in Belmar where my eight year old eats a slice of pizza bigger than she is; I love the natural beauty of Sandy Hook, a sliver of land between the bay and the ocean; and the list goes on and on to Atlantic City and Cape May. Monmouth County is also home to more thoroughbred horses than the state of Kentucky (even though Kentucky hosts the renowned Kentucky Derby). A few minutes from our house and you are in prime horse farm country, in a town aptly named "Colts Neck". It's a beautiful place to take a drive. (Only 1 1/2 hrs to Philadelphia; 3 to Baltimore; 4 to Washington D.C. This opens opportunity for overnights from my home.) Something about ourselves

We are a family of 4-5 that travel together. I am Kerry (48, Mom and Manager of family Landscape Construction Company), husband Angelo (59, Dad/Engineer/Teacher), Matteo (14), Amelia (9) and Grandma Linda (69, retired newspaper report/artist) We think home exchange provides the ultimate opportunity to experience other cultures and make new friends around the Globe. During the summer of 2009 we "lived" in two temporary homes during a six week trip to Europe (Southern Spain, France). It was an incredible experience! In 2011 we toured Italy for a month and then had a wonderful home exchange in East Sussex, England. We have decided it is high time we started touring our own continent, North America. So we are now open to any offers in the USA or Canada. We are most interested in the latter part of next August 2012 or perhaps during other school breaks. We look forward to hearing from you!
