    Description

    We are a family of five, living in one of the most beautiful regions of Carinthia, nestled in the breathtaking natural scenery of the Carnic Alps. Our area offers numerous opportunities for hiking, visiting idyllic spots, rafting, and cycling trips. A variety of culinary delights and regional specialties are also available. Our family consists of our 8-year-old daughter, two sons (14 and 16), my wife, and me. Your role with us would primarily be to teach us English through daily use with you.

    Wir sind eine fünfköpfige Familie, beheimatet in einer der schönsten Gegenden Kärntens, eingebettet in der atemberaubenden Naturkulisse der Karnischen Alpen. In unserer Gegend gibt es viele Möglichkeiten zu wandern, traumhafte Plätze zu besuchen, zu raften, mit dem Fahrrad Ausflüge zu machen..... Es werden auch verschiedene kulinarische Köstlichkeiten und Spezialitäten unserer Gegend angeboten. Unsere Familie besteht aus unserer Tochter 8, zwei Söhnen 14 und 16, meiner Frau und mir. Deine Aufgabe bei uns wäre es, uns vor allem Englisch, durch tägliches Verwenden mit dir, beizubringen.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer opportunities for climbing, hiking, swimming, cycling... and the cultural atmosphere of a small village. These are activities we, as a family, would love to do with you. Since we live right on the border with Italy, a trip there is also possible! We would also love to learn about your culture!

    Wir bieten Möglichkeiten zum Klettern, Wandern, Schwimmen, Radfahren... die kulturelle Umgebung eines kleinen Dorfes. Aktivitäten, die wir als Familie gerne auch mit dir machen. Da wir direkt an der Grenze zu Italien leben, ist auch ein Abstecher dorthin möglich! Gerne würden wir auch deine Kultur kennen lernen!
