  Description

  English:
  We are a family of six (age: 47, 48, 24, 21, 16, 13) who live in the Countryside of Schleswig-Holstein.
  With us there live two dogs, two cats, many chicken and ducks and two horses.
  We love to work with the animals and in our garden where we plant vegetables.
  We aren't a business, we just love to meet new people and could use some help in our daily life and with all our renovation projects.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in the very north of Germany, close to the northern and eastern sea.
  About 20 minutes away is our state capital Kiel, which has good possibilities for clubbing, going shopping, and so on. In the summertime Kiel is known for the Kieler Woche, which is an event not only the Germans love.
  If you are interested in a language course, our nearby cities also offer opportunities like that.
  In the closer area we lots of possibilities for bike tours, or walking with the dogs.
  
  Living in the countryside never gets boring, there is always something we can do.
  Also, everybody in our family (except the youngest) have good skills in speaking English, if you do too, there will be no problem in the communication.

  Accommodation

  We live in a house with six bedrooms, living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and a dining room.
  Upstairs we have a spare room for you. You are allowed to take from our groceries and use the kitchen if you like.
  Because everyone has to leave the house at different times and comes home differently, we are looking forward having dinner together, where you are very welcome to join us.
  In that time we love to talk about our day and plans for the week.
