I’m a semi-retired attorney, aspiring foodie, mediocre photographer and obsessive globe-trotter who lives in Seattle.  I sometimes travel with my wife, sometimes with one or both of my daughters, sometimes with all three, sometimes with friends, sometimes by myself.  I’m a committed home exchanger, which means I often swap my residence with other properties around the world rather than staying in hotels.  I intend to document my far-flung adventures in this space, and try to provide useful, non-obvious tidbits of information for other travelers along the way.
