Details
Description
We live in a beautiful old farmhouse in the countryside close to the border with Switzerland (30 min drive from Zuerich). We also have a huge, peaceful garden to relax in and a forest to roam through. Public transportation is about a 30 min, hilly bike ride away, but we leave the house often and can offer rides to the train station.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a multicultural family (Dutch, Swiss, American and Spanish) and love getting to know other people. We could share meals and take the visitor (if desired) on family outings (to the pool, playgrounds or to visit friends in other cities). The setting we live in is very quiet and relaxing, so we would also respect if the person staying wanted to take advantage of our setting for some nature and quiet time.
