Tout était parfait, conforme à l'esprit Intervac
We had a most successful autumn exchange with Judith and Paul. Their home was warm and comfortable and very much as described. It was in a great location, quietly situated but a short walk from loads of useful shops and from the beach and very close to a handy bus route. We enjoyed the easy access to Bournemouth, Christchurch, the coast in general, the New Forest and slightly further afield to the splendid Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth (where we cannot recommend the Mary Rose exhibition highly enough). If we hadn’t already known Winchester and Salisbury well we would have been exploring those too. Peppa Pig World needs a small mention too, our 6 and 4 year-old granddaughters loved it. We had very friendly and open communications and especially enjoyed sharing WhatsApp pictures and messages in the course of our exchange. It is one of our favourite parts of swapping that we get to know and become on friendly terms with like-minded people. We would highly recommend others to exchange, at any time of year. Thank you Judith and Paul!
The lovely house of Judith and Paul was an ideal place to explore beautiful Dorset with its spectacular coast! We had a wonderful holiday here and, very convenient for us, we could reach all sightseeing places by public transport! Communication with Judith and Paul was very easy and enjoyable, with helpful recommendations for our stay!
It was very easy to communicate with Judith which helped to make for a very smooth exchange. We had a really enjoyable swap and loved the house and its close proximity to the beach and shopping and cafe facilities. We are keen to repeat the process at some time. Thank you also for allowing family members to join us.

Retired couple who enjoy travelling, socialising with friends, trying to keep reasonably fit!
We were members back in the days when a catalogue dropped through your letterbox and we actually wrote letters to each other!
We enjoyed our Intervac holidays when our children were small. Now that we are retired we want to renew and start enjoying new places and experiences. Our particular interests are science, the arts and history.
Our son lives in Helsinki and our daughter lives in Bristol. We have three grandchildren aged 14,9 and 4. Occasionally, we may ask to bring one of our children and their family on an exchange.
