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. ---

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 ---

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 ?

Hi Brandon, We are semi retired at least I am totally & my husband does a few hours a day via computer so we are free to travel. We usually spend 6-7 months traveling each year. I like to do exchanges for several weeks at a time, for us we get to know the area & enjoy the local community & it also makes life easier to have guests who want to do the same.
