Description
My husband is a lawyer with a law firm in Washington DC and I teach at American University Law School. We have three grown children and two young grandchildren. We have taught a law class in Kyoto, Beijing, Madrid, Bogota, Santiago, and St. Petersberg which we have thoroughly enjoyed. We have also lived for several years in Germany and France. In the past we have exchanged homes which we have found an excellent way to learn more about a country and its culture. Sharing homes also often leads to lasting friendships. We would be pleased to have others explore and enjoy our beautiful city with close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, the cities and historical plantations of Virginia and a four-hour ride to New York where we often spend a weekend to listen to concerts. visit museums or go to the theater.
