Hey Everyone, I’m Brendan from the beautiful beachside location of Bronte in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been exchanging for 25+ years and had so many wonderful and memorable experiences. We love to travel and HE has allowed us to afford so many more holidays. We also have an apartment on the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand that we purchased when we lived in Thailand in 2009. my wife and I are looking to semi retire around 2027 and starting to explore longer stays with other home exchangers who are in a similar position.

Welcome to the forum Brendan!
Welcome!
I have the same dream Brandon.
Where and how long would you like to exchange ?
Hi Brendan,
We love Bronte! We lived in Coogee for many years during and after uni at UNSW. If you ever want a long term Florida USA swap in 2027 and beyond let us know. We are three Aussies living in Florida and we are always looking for long swaps back in Oz to visit family and friends.
Hello Brendan,
We are also looking for longer exchanges. Koh Samui and Sydney are both great. I invite you to take a look at Asheville, North Carolina and our profile.
Hi to all. We have returned last year after having a wonderful 7 week holiday in Europe. We stayed in 10 HE fabulous homes and met some amazingly generous people. We would now love to organise a longer term stay in England, Scotland or Wales for 2-3 months either as reciprocal or guest points. We live in Hervey BAy, Queensland, a super place in the world! I am hoping this forum will help us meet new people and chat about similar travel interests.
Thanks everyone

Hi Maria & Angelo,
I am looking for exchange in Toronto, Canada and would like to offer you to my sweet home in Vietnam 
though you wrote your plan to visit Thailand from Feb to Apr 2005.
Have you ever visit Vietnam?. Vietnam is a great destination for exploring. When you have plan for Hanoi, Vietnam, you are welcome to my home Thanh's house
Thank you so much for your kind offer, we did Vietnam few years ago and we did Love it! but we do not have for now plan to return because we do prefer going to other places in our planet we have never been.

Hello Brendan !
We aren’t retired but we have a second home in Cannes, on the South Coast in France. Since it’s a second home we are totally flexible and can accept long stays.
We are looking for a home in Koh Samui for 3 days in end of April or early May.
Would you be interested in a non simultaneous swap ?
Apt in Cannes (Côte d’Azur France)
Hi, we have 6 weeks available in our coastal Victorian home in Australia every July/August as we head to Bali.
Home code is #2381320. Cheers
