House is a cape cod with finished attic offering 3 floors of living space with full baths on the first and second floors. Back porch with swing for enjoying warm evenings outdoors. Outdoor grill and small patio. Equipped with cable TV, wireless internet access and use of computer.

Quiet, friendly near west-side neighborhood. Library and community garden close-by. Backyard of house connects to neighborhood park with children's playground, volleyball, tennis and basketball court. Friendly neighbors will help if you need any assistance. A bike path is nearby which links home to campus and downtown Madison. Lake Wingra and the Arboretum are within easy walking distance.

Mid-50's professional couple (engineer/teacher) with 20+ years of experience hosting international students from around the globe wish to share their Madison home with others and have an opportunity to experience other cultures through home exchanges. We enjoy the outdoors particularly canoing, sailing and hiking and we want to be travelers not tourists as we visit other countries. We've spent time in Guatemala and Honduras participating in "volunteers vacations" and we know that the most valuable things aren't things at all.
