We are an activ and sporty family; two teachers with two children at the age of 12 and 19. We have a dream of seeing more of the world, and are open for any suggestions!
We love kayaking, mountain hiking, climbing and skiing. But we also like to sit down in a coffeeshop in a big (or not so big!) city and just enjoy the feeling.
We sometimes travels only with only one child, the 12-year-old, especially on short trips as in weekend exchanges.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
A large family house ( 150 kvm) on the Norwegian west coast, 20. minutes north of Bergen and 30 minutes from Bergen Flesland Airport. The lowpricecompany "Norwegian" flyes between all the large cities in Europe, at very good prices.
The house is in the end of an quiet street. The neighbors are friendly and helpful. On the first floor there is a hall, three bedrooms, a bathroom with both tub and shower, and a laundry room with a washing machine and a dryer.
On the second floor we have kitchen with dishwasher, oven, micro,refrigerator, freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, etc...), living room with flatscreen tv, master bedroom and a second bathroom. From the kitchen you can go out into the 20 kvm2 terrasse where there is sun until late in the evening. If the evening is turning a bit cold after the sun is gone, you can take your glass of vine into the cosy 10 kvm2 patio-house which also is fully furniturned and has a gas grill.
There is a big trampoline for the kids to enjoy, outside in the yard. We all have bicycles that you can use if you´d like.
Summer 2013 we had an exchange with a lovely family in Iceland, and July 2014 we had an exchange with a family in Rhòne, France. Summer 2018 we did an amazing exchange with a family in Barcelona. All of them great experiences!
Maybe our next exchange is with you?

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The neighborhood is very quiet, friendly and perfect for children. Bus is nearby, but we will have a car for you if you`d like, and you can ride our bicycles if you´d like. Playground, football field and grocery stores near by. Only a short walk to the beach (we have both sea and lake to choose between!) where we can take a swim in the summer or go skating in the winter. If you like fishing, this is the right place! :-)
Several shopping centers in the area, and off course: only 20 minutes from beautiful Bergen centrum.
We can help you plan your weeks here in Bergen. We always make a broscure for our exchange families, so they can really explore the west coast of Norway.
