About Us

My husband and I have three children, ages 11, 10, and 7. We are all interested in the arts. I founded an arts organization and gallery and I am a fiber artist. My children and I all play the piano. My husband plays the guitar. We love to make music together. In my past, I taught 9th grade history, 12 grade English, and the 5th grade. My husband is a humor writer and an online technical services consultant. Food is very important to us and we love to cook. We are interested in sustainable travel. We care about the environment and are involved in politics and social activism. All of us enjoy outdoor activities such as scuba diving, river kayaking, camping, and hiking. I speak some Spanish. My family and I are looking for either a short vacation length house swap or an extended swap between 9 and 12 months in length.

Destination

this needs to be simultaneous.

We are open to a short swap beginning in July 1 of 08 through Aug 31 or for a long swap beginning July 1 for a period of 9-12 months.
