Hi Greg
Like you, I moved from Canada to London (via a year in Grimsby, Lincs) but I did it many years ago when there wasn't an easy way to find other ex-pat Canadians (since we haven't colonised particular areas in London as many nationalities do)…
Home exchange is growing in popularity, partly because of the recession, but generally the idea is much better known than in the past. We have been running a home exchange service, Home Base Holidays, since 1985. The Internet sure makes it a lot eas…
Hi Becky, Nice to have discovered your attractive blog - I have just followed you on Twitter, and read an article on your blog about Thailand (will be visiting for the first time in Sept). Perhaps we can exchange guest posts?
Our own blog traffic c…
Hi Jane - If your Independent Travel Resources ebook would be of interest to home exchangers (who are independent travellers of all ages), I would be pleased to include a guest post from you on our blog, with extract from your book and link to promo…
I agree - great site with lots of useful travel information, Renee. I am now following you on twitter and hope we can share some content/links as I'm sure our home exchange members would be interested in your site. Do you want to write a guest post?…
Hi Doris - sorry I didn't respond to your questions!
I met my (English post grad) future husband at McMaster University, Hamilton. He stayed an extra year (teaching at Niagara College in its first year) while I finished my degree. At the time, Fran…
Hi Doris
I'm an ex-pat Canadian, living in England for 41 years! I've felt for many years now that I have two 'homes' - I still feel v. much a Canadian and love going back but also feel I'm coming home when I see the first crazy shaped fields when…
Hi Doris
Thanks for the welcome!
Anne's comment "....they want to be be immersed in the culture of the destination and they want to do things outside of the 'normal' touristy things" is certainly ture for BB & older home exchangers. They are by de…
Great to meet other baby boomers - I'm one of the originals from 1946.
I have been running a travel business - home exchange - since 1985. Ironically, the business has kept me rather tied (although I can work from anywhere with an internet connecti…
Everyone welcome but I would like to focus discussions on travelers in this age group (approx. 45 to 65) and our needs, likes and dislikes in traveling. Let me know areas of interest to you.

- Hi Lois, I'm originally from the US and lived in London for a bit. I also lived in Brussels and now I am in Sweden.
I wonder if you could share you vast knowledge of London and Ontario in the Earth.org travel guide?
Good luck transitioning your business over to your son!

I think you need 25 fans before Facebook will give you your own personal URL from what I understand.
If you're in your fan page first and then go to the other wall does it post as your blog name? I have the opposite problem, where all three members…
