Our family consists of Louise & Daniel, the semi retired parents; our children Ariane (born 1984, who lives in Basel) and Andreas (born 1986, who lives in New York), who do not travel with us anymore.
Daniel (born 1953 in Basel), is the owner of a business in Locarno specialized in quality management, business consulting and project management.
Louise (born 1955 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) teaches English privately. We have a golden retriever female, five years old. She is our devoted companion and will go to a kennel during the house swap or (preferably) be our companion during the house exchange, if our exchangers agree to this.
We are experienced exchangers and have swapped houses in San Diego California (2001), Auckland New Zealand (2002), Capetown South Africa (2004), Reykjavik Iceland (2005), Melbourne Australia (2006), Hingham south of Boston Mass. (2010), Cheltenham UK (2013) and Israel (2017). And now we have time for many more exchanges!
