Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

After two years of discovering our own country, we are now ready for anything. This summer we are travelling all July. We would like to have exchanges for our stopovers in the Copenhagen area, South of Germany, Switzerland and London (two of us)
We can offer a nice house with a pleasant garden in small town Finnsnes, far north in Norway. The nearest airport is Bardufoss, but Tromsø is also an option. The house is very comfortable and child friendly.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Finnsnes is a small town with all facilities. You will find all kind of shops, cafes and a couple of restaurants a short walk from our house. Our house is perfectly situated, with the local church at the bottom of the hill, and a path leading straight up into the woods and mountains at the top of the hill. The church lies overlooking a little town park, with a pretty little lake and a large playground. It is possible to borrow canoes and paddle around the lake, or to go ice skating there in winter. Our neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Most of the houses were built in the 60's, and the people who built them have reached pension age. Some sell their houses, and young families (like ours) move in. Generally, you will find that everything is very quiet in winter, but in summer, no one seems to sleep at all.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

From our house, you can walk down to the local park with a lake and playground, into the town center, with shops and cafes, or you can walk straight up the hill, and into the woods and mountains. There is a good, marked, path up to "Varden"(The Cairn). Locals use it for exercise, or for a nice family walk. It is a steep climb, but the view is amazing. You can spend a lifetime exploring Senja. It is a big island, with varied landscapes. Explore by day-trips, or use our "lavvo" tent. In Norway, you can walk anywhere that is not close to a house or obviously farmland! Northern lights in winter, midnight sun in summer, whale safaries, skiing, beaches, shopping in Tromsø. We have no medieval villages and cobblestone streets, and no high rise buildings, but what we do have is plenty of space and fresh air. We will leave you lots of suggestions for what to do and where to go.
