Single mother with four daughters. We treat everybody and everything with respect and interest - and we love traveling and experiencing life in other places. We have done house exchanges twice in England, once in California and twice in Spain. Now we are ready for new swaps! Some times we bring a couple of friends with us on our vacation, but only if you permit it and have space for it. Looking forward to hear from you!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neigbourhood is suburban, safe and quiet. The closest bus stop is situated only two minutes from the house and the bus will take you down town Oslo in less than 20 minutes. So this is the perfect place to stay if you would like to see Oslo and the surroundings. The little village of Bekkestua is only a two minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from the house. Here you will find all kinds of shops in a newly build shopping-senter, all kinds of restaurants (some of them are quiet good!), pharmacies, library etc. A nice public swimming pool (Nadderudhallen) is situated only a 10 minutes walk from our house and there are several fitness clubs in a walking or jogging distance. There are also nice paths for taking a walk or jogging that are going from our house and all the way to the forrest (Bærumsmarka) where you can go hiking. In Bærumsmarka there are several cottages that you can visit for a coffee or for a night's stay. Just write me what you are interested in and like to do on your holiday and I will be happy to give you some suggestions on what to see and do in the area where I live!
