Find your perfect host
Details
Description
The focus for now is renovating a small cottage near beach and forest in Fjellerup strand about 45 minutes from Aarhus. Where we have bought a smaller wellfunctioning house that needs to brought up to date, so there is some paint-work, and maybe some carpentry work. It's the house you see in the pictueres.
It is a very beautiful area with about 800 meters to the beach and 400 meters to a great forest, so there is a lot of nature around but not so much city-life.
We will help each other with the things that needs to be fixed. If you have skills with tools we will probably put in a few bigger windows, but else there is a lot of indoor paint work.
Our family is two adults and four children (7, 10, 10 and 13) who loves our house and garden, travelling and meeting people. I work as a highschool/college teacher, writer and national advisor for the ministry of education. Dorte is a sign language interpreter.Types of help and learning opportunities

You will be living in the house in the pictures. There is easily room for a couple or friends travelling together. Or you will have a room in the other house depending on where we need the help the most.
What else ...
We have always traveled a lot, and love to meet other people and also swap houses for travelling, but we think that is now time for us to host people travelling and at the same time get some overdue work done :-)
We have bikes you can borrow to go to the woods or to Aarhus, or you can just take the citybus and go to the movies or any other of the many cultural events in Aarhus.A little more information
