We are fluent in English, French and Spanish and have basics in Polish.
We offer our home with beautiful garden. Great place for each time of the year. Please contact us if you are interested in an exchange as well if your country is not indicated in our list as we are mostly open to go everywhere.
*Please note: our house is situated on a hill and can only be reached by a small way with 50 steps, good for fitness but not for families with very small children or with special health problems ;- )*

Unser Haus mit großem schönen Garten liegt stadtnah aber dennoch sehr ruhig. Es gibt für jedes Alter immer viel zu tun und zu entdecken, auch in Corona-Zeiten ist es hier nicht langweilig: Spaziergänge und Radtouren in Wald, an der Ruhr oder am Rhein, Kanutouren auf der Ruhr, auf der Niers. Der Niederrhein, das Bergische Land, das Münsterland, das Sauerland bieten ganz viel Abwechslung. Daneben gibt es natürlich auch zahlreiche Museen, Freizeitparks, Sportstätten, Zoos....

ACHTUNG: unser Haus liegt an einem Hang und kann nur über einen Weg und Treppen mit insgesamt 50 Stufen erreicht werden. Das ist unsere tägliche Fitness, aber vielleicht nicht ideal für Leute mit speziellen gesundheitlichen Problemen oder mit sehr kleinen Kindern.

Unsere Tochter lebt in Dresden und wir sind immer an Tauschen in Dresden/Sachsen interessiert.
