Diane and Dave

We are Kiwis in our 60s, we host language school students, Servas guests and enjoy house swapping. All of these activities are great because we get to know people and can share their lives for a while. We try to avoid hotels when we travel and use hostels or B and Bs when possible.
Dave is retired and I'm working as a librarian so we can only travel when I can get time off work. We plan to do more travel in the future, and a lot once I retire too.
