House in Woodacre near San Francisco, California

We are world travelers, semi-retired, in our 70's, living in West Marin County, California, just 45 minutes north of San Francisco, near the world-famous Northern California Coast. Our home was originally a small summer cabin, built in the 1920's, as a getaway from the summer San Francisco fog. It has been expanded and now has with sleeping space for 8.

We are within easy driving distance to beautiful beaches, California Redwood groves, Napa and Sonoma wineries and with open spaces right outside our door, for biking, hiking and water sports, as well as cultural activities in the city. We are also about 3.5 hours from Lake Tahoe and 5 hours to Yosemite National Park.

We have hosted (hospitality) several Intervac families or exchanged our home in Marin County through Intervac several times.  We have also hosted several exchange students. "Molly" (Marilyn) is a former elementary school teacher and administrator and Adam is a builder and former attorney.  Molly speaks German, some Swedish and a little French. Adam speaks Spanish.  We have two adult daughters, who occasionally travel with us, but lead busy lives, so we will tend to travel as a couple nowadays. We have no pets at this time.

We also own a vacation rental condo unit on the island of Maui, Hawaii, which may be available for exchange.

We plan to travel to Portugal, Southern Italy and Ireland in fall of 2022, but can host your family almost any time, since we have an AirBnB space in the downstairs part of our home. We're happy to offer hospitality, if you are passing through for a few days or want to stay a week or so, with the possibility of our staying in your home some day in the future.
(We have made several Intervac friends this way!) We look forward to sharing our love and knowledge of California and maybe even other parts of the world with you!
