One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked on the Baltic Sea in mid-winter. Swam in the Indian Ocean. Watched the sunset from the Eiffel Tower. Have visited nearly all 50 states in the US and most of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

We have hosted 8 exchange students so far. We love the opportunity to share our culture with willing learners, and also to learn about different cultures from our own home. These experiences have had a tremendous impact on us and our children. We have also used the opportunity to visit several of the students in their homes after their year here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, we have lots of room for guests. We are often available to show you around or at least give you suggestions and directions for your own experience. We love to share time and a home cooked meal with our guests.
