Hello,
We are a German family who emigrated from Cologne to Oslo 19 years ago. Now our kids (23 and 25) are out of the house and living in London and New York, but sometimes they still like to travel with us.
THOUGH WE ALLWAYS LOOK FOR EXCHANGES IN LONDON AND NEW YORK!
We love nature and the wide range of leisure activities in Oslo (skiing, hiking, cycling and sailing) and still enjoy living in the city with a wide range of cultural activities. I spent a lot of time in Germany for work, Frank works as an anesthetist in a privat hospital here in Oslo. We both love to travel.
We spend a lot of time in our holiday home in Tenerife on the Canary Islands in Spain. Our holiday home is also available for exchange
