About Us

I am a divorced man in my 50s,my son and daughter have flown the nest and i now live with my partner. We enjoy dancing and walking our dogs. I took early retirement and now i like to travel a little more and try to keep my garden in reasonable shape.

Destination

non-simultaneous exchange preferred.I would like to experience New York in a way that is affordable. Ideally the exchange would be with another couple,but a 3/4 exchange for1/2 would be fine so long as i knew the people were right for the house.
Being retired my life is reasonably flexable but for a visit here june to september is the best time weather wise.
