    Description

    Hei!

    We are a Swiss-Norwegian family of four living in Bærum, Norway, in the countryside outside of Oslo. Both my husband and I have previously done volunteer work abroad and spent lots of time traveling, getting to know different cultures. We are excited to give the same experience to other people, while getting to know all of the beauty that Norway has to offer.

    At home, we speak English, Norwegian and German with the kids (ages 4 and 1), so if you like to practice any of these languages, we're happy to host you! We are a very outdoorsy family and spend lot's of time outdoors going to the lake, beach, mountains and lots of different playgrounds.

    You will have you own floor with private bedroom and a bathroom. As a family with 2 young kids life can get a bit hectic and we'd appreciate a helping hand with various task. For example: garden work/projects, batch meal prep and general help around the house. Despite us living a bit outside of the city and close to nature we have a direct bus right by our house that gets you into Oslo city center within 35 minutes.
