We (Alexandra 45 and Dirk 46) are a happy family with our little daughter Sophia (2017) and our dog Emma (1,5 year old Tibet-Doodle). Alexandra works as a market researcher and I am an entrepreneur. We have been exchanging since 2018 and it was a big success so far. We love to travel and what we like about exchanging is that you feel like a resident for some time. You can get a much deeper insight in the destination and you can get a lot of good inside-hints what to do. Please note: Since our small family was increased by four legs we are travelling only together. This means of course that we can only exchange with you if your home is pet friendly.

Description de notre maison d'échange
We own a spacious apartment (97 sqm) on the 3rd floor in a listed building from 1904 which means you have very high ceilings in all rooms. The other three families living in the house are very nice and uncomplicated.
The apartment consists of one bedroom (1,80 x 2,00m bedsize), one living-/working-/eatingarea next to the kitchen (fully automatic coffee machine, microwave, all-in-one kitchen machine) , one small guest bathroom (washing machine/tumble dryer), one bathroom with shower/bathtub, one childrens room with toys, a baby crib and a changing table. Furthermore we have one cosy living room with a big couch and entertainment like TV (apple tv, pay tv, amazon fire tv, sky, netflix available), game consoles (Play Station) and stereo/music station.
On the spacious balkony (13 sqm) you can relax, read a book, enjoy the quiet and green backyard and you can have a very nice barbecue in the evening as we have a big gas barbecue/grill.
The couch is a sofa bed which means there is an extra sleeping opportunity.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Our apartment is situated in Cologne (North Rhine Westphalia) a town nearly in the middle of Germany. Cologne is located on both sides of the Rhine, near Germany's borders with Belgium and the Netherlands. Its the fourth biggest town in Germany and one of Europe's major metropolitan areas with round about 1 Million citizens. It is a centre for media, an international trade fair location, a University City and a focal point for art and culture.
The exact location of our home is a district of Cologne called "Nippes". Its a very nice, open minded and active quarter in the North of Cologne with a lot of families living here. The location is also great because you need just a 10 minute ride by tram to the downtown of cologne. Our house is located in a nice side street of Nippes and you will find everything you need within walking distance: subway station, owner-run shops, a bank, grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, pubs, cafes and restaurants of all sorts. In Nippes you can also relax in one of the parks that are also located nearby. Close to our home there is a street market which takes place every day and where you can buy fresh vegetables and fruits for very small money.
Cologne could be the right choice for you if you are looking either just stay into a beautiful German town and taste German lifestyle or as great starting point for a trip to other German/European cities. Cologne has an international airport (CGN) so nearly any location in Europe is easy and fast to reach.
Some examples: Cologne is in the middle of Berlin and Munich (both 350 miles), France (Paris; 300 miles), Netherlands (Amsterdam (160 miles), Antwerp (130miles), Belgium (Brussels (130miles), Bruges (190miles), Austria (Vienna 550 miles) or Switzerland (Zurich 350 miles).

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
From our home it is a very short walk to nice restaurants, cafes, shopping possibilities and playgrounds for children. You can also walk to the Rhiver Rhine or to the Zoo within approx. 20 minutes. In the pre-christmas period Cologne has some very nice Christmas markets to visit. More information about Cologne and its activities you can find here: https://www.koelntourismus.de/.
If you want to experience Cologne beside the main tourist attractions you should try a Cologne Greeter (a resident who voluntarily shows you an insider perspective of Cologne): koelngreeter.de
