Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a beautiful town Vedbæk, just 20 min north of Copenhagen. It is situated next to the beach, where we "swim" all year round. The woods are also next door and is a beautiful area. We have many bikes that you can borrow, and there are great opportunities to explore both the nature cycling, running and walking as well as cultural activites, We live close to Helsingør, (home of Hamlet) and 15 min with ferry and you are in Sweden. The station is a 5 minute walk away, and the train takes you to central copenhagen (as well as the airport) within 20 minutes. Copenhagen has everything to offer in terms of restaurants, bars, musuems, shops etc etc. We are a multicultural family that love to meet new people and are interested in different art and cultural activities. Occasionally we do smoke, but only outside in the garden.

Help
We are looking for general help around the house, cooking (in particular we love asian food), tidying and cleaning, laundry, gardening and helping out with the kids. We would require someone who are open to ad hoc projects as there are ALWAYS something to do. Don't be afraid if you don't know how to do all the tasks. We don't expect you to and we can teach you everything.
