Our family is Fergus (orchestral conductor), Maria (music teacher) and daughters Emily (24) and Jennifer (22). We have one outdoor cat. We would be happy to have an exchange involving pet care.
We love travelling with our girls and have been many places, Africa, Phillipines, America, and all across Europe. We have done nine home exchanges and found this a wonderful way to see the world.
