Summer “home exchange”

Hello expat Moms and families,

My family is looking for a summer “home exchange” with Italy — either as a one-time swap, or as an annual exchange if things go well for both sides.  Our dates for summer 2012 are somewhat flexible at this point.

We are a professional couple with two kids (toddler and infant) from the San Francisco Bay Area.  We have a beautiful house (4 bedrooms plus office) in a town called Tiburon (just 10mins north of San Francisco, across the Golden Gate bridge), which is right on the water with ferry access to the city, etc.  Our family spends a month in Europe every summer (flexible on the time, but usually July/early Aug) and usually for two weeks we are in Northern Italy.  We have found that exchanging with families works better for us than renting villas or staying in hotels, because the place will likely be more “kid friendly” already… so we’d like to find a family, preferably with younger children, who’d be willing to exchange their home with us.

If this sounds interesting to you, then we’d love to hear from you and will send photos of our house.  You can reach us via email at mszamko@gmail.com.

Thank you for your consideration!
