About Us

We are a couple in our forties. We have 2 girls aged 8 & 6. I am a Quality Manager in a pathology laboratory, and my husband is a science teacher.

We only speak English - unfortunately!

Destination

We want to travel to France & Austria to visit family & friends in 2009 - April/May/June. We would also like to spend some time in Ireland to see where our ancestors came from.

A non-simultaneous exchange may be possible, as we usually holiday away from home for two to four weeks every year.
