It is a peninsula just south of La Jolla and Pacific Beach surrounded by water with the Pacific Ocean on the west and Mission Bay on the east. It is filled with joggers, walkers, roller skaters, surfers and bicyclists. My home faces due south which enables one to enjoy great sun all day long.

I do not have any pets, but don't mind taking care of any. Our exchange dates do not have to coincide with each other as Joan, my traveling companion, has her own house and I could stay with her. In that case we could pick you up at the airport, and help you get settled.

The People View Feedback About My Exchanges I am Tom, a retired elementary school teacher, with a variety of interests, especially in the arts and theater. My traveling partner, Joan, is also a retired teacher. We have been traveling independently throughout Europe for the last 15 summers and especially enjoy lingering in one area which enables us to immerse in the local community. Our interests are many; from hiking, race-walking, jogging, to sampling local cuisine, theater, music and museums. We have had 15 Home Exchanges, with some wonderful feed-back, and will take good care of your home, pets and plants. Send us a note, we look forward to hearing from you. Languages Spoken English
