We had great pleasure with having Emily and Dorian living at our house. They did painting and cleaning, and helped with the new Ipad. and computer at my work.
I also enjoyed talking french with them.
We spent nice time with them.They also joined me by swimming in the north Atlantic :)
Thank you very much for everything.

Dominique has been in our house and helping painting around the house and the house in such a wonderful way. We had great fun to sing old french songs together and my husband and me enjoyed the time with her very much!
Dominique never got tired and herself coming from the moutains in France she has been incredible in hiking and working.

Fabian stayed here for 2 weeks. We had lots of interesting discussions and fun. He worked in our garden and did some cleaning outside and painting. The result is really nice. He also worked on programming a fluxgate interface for an autopilot, that was great help.
