We are an enterprising, uncomplicated family of four. Simon (born 1978) works for a Swiss bank and in his free time regularly runs half-marathons. His wife Nadja (born 1980) is a part-time assistant in HR and likes reading novels and shopping in fahion stores as time permits. Our children Noemi-Felice (born 2006) and Noah-Levin (born 2009) attend the local schools; they love skiing in winter and driving their bikes and the much-loved midi-quad for children in the warmer seasons (sometimes their father Simon drives the quad as well :-). We play tennis as a family. And we would love to learn fishing as soon as the opportunity arises.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have already a home exchange for SUMMER 2017.
Our family home (detached) was built in 2009; it has a net floor area of 180m2 and a total property area of 700 m2. There are
- two children's bedrooms (1 single bed each)
- one master bedroom with double bed (king-size 180)
- one guest bedroom (double bed)
- a basement gym
- one wet-room (one separate shower cabin, lavatory, and bath tub)
The ground floor has a generous-sized living room and adjoining open kitchen area. Of course there is also a cosy seating area for coming together and enjoying some quiet around the open fireplace. And the garden has space enough for playing football and also invites to have a fling on the trampoline.
The surroundings:
The town of Bischofszell (population 7'000) is district capital and has long been known as a 'town of roses' (http://www.bischofszell.ch/de/tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/). Although compared to other towns not far away it is a small township, it does have a number of retail shops. For more ambitious shopping expeditions we recommend the Shopping Arena (http://www.shopping-arena.ch/) just a 15 minutes' drive away. And in less than 30 minutes public transport (railway) - which is generally excellent in Switzerland – or the car will take you to either St. Gallen, or the banks of Lake Constance (http://www.bodensee.eu/de/was-erleben/bodensee-highlights/top-erlebnisse) or the Alpstein range of mountains (http://www.alpstein.ch/) for rewarding hiking tours. For visits to restaurants we can recommend, for trips and cultural events please see the tab „Activities“.
