Lifestyle
We are a husband and wife couple whose names, ages and professions are:
She: Sue, 60, semi retired business woman
He: Alistair 61, retired business man
We love outdoor living, gardening, growing our own fruit and vegetables, keeping fit (golf, yoga, walking, swimming, padel etc) and we like to travel and discover new places. Our main hobbies are golf, walking, general fitness, photography (past time really but looking to re-in vigour this passion) reading, going to restaurants, going out with friends, etc. We do not smoke and although we do look after a family of 4 cats that adopted us when we arrived in Spain they are outdoor cats that only need feeding once a day. We would take care of our exchange partners' homes as if it were our own, and of course we expect the same from our exchange partners. If you like our offer, please, do not hesitate to contact us.
