Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Harpenden, Home Counties, Hertfordshire
Claire, Nick, Christian (2009) and Daniel (2013) are open to offers for school holidays in the UK/Europe, but specifically looking for Sydney house swaps for Christmas 2025 so we can visit family and friends. Nick works in financial services in the City of London and Claire runs a change management consultancy business. We have swapped in Sydney 4 times before, so can put you in touch with previous families for a reference. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
