    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We have all spent a lot of time travelling and love meeting new people, talking, playing music, etc. We enjoy eating good food and sharing cuisines and recipes from around the world. Our boys love to interact and play and can be quite energetic at times! We are a busy family, and while we love sharing meals and time together in the evenings, we are often quite busy during the daytime with our work. We are hoping to find people who are open to spending time with us as a family, and who are also fine enjoying their own space.
