Hello, we are Inga, Martin and baby Kalle (born in spring 2023) and are just starting our home exchange journey here. Inga has already been home exchanging with her family as a child and has always hugely enjoyed immersing herself into the host culture by staying in an actual home rather that a hotel or holiday apartment.
We are currently having some time off work to look after our baby boy Kalle and would love to stay somewhere in Southern Europe (Spain or Italy) in late September to October, ideally for 2-3 weeks.
A little bit about us: We love hiking and the seaside - ideally hiking ALONG the seaside :) After a nice hike, we like seeking out spots with great drink (good wine and craft beer) and interesting local food. We are interested in art, music and exploring the independent shops of our destinations.

Description de notre maison d'échange
* More pictures to follow*
We, that is myself (Inga), Martin and baby Kalle are living in a small Victorian Terraced House near Willesden Junction Station.
Our house has a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom (with bathtub) on the ground floor. Upstairs, we have one bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom as well as a guest room / office / baby nursery, which has a sofa bed suitable for 2 people to sleep on. This room currently also has a baby cot, which fits babies / children up to the age of 5(ish).
We have a little garden at the back with seating opportunities and a hammock (my favourite spot for relaxing).

See neighbourhood section; other places of interest that are easy to get to are:
- Wembley Stadium
- Regent's Park
- Hampstead Heath: a huge park that brings a countryside feeling, with amazing views of London and Kenwood House plus café as a nice walking destination
