Description
We are an open-minded Swiss family living outside of Zurich, speaking several languages such as German, English, French and others. Frederika and Bernard (parents) work 4 days a week, Lea-Gioia (20y) is currently working in an internship, Aurel (17y) is in his last year of high school and Ivy, that's our family cat. In and around our large house with garden we are happy to get any kind of help with maintenance. We like meeting and getting to know new people and being inspired by different cultures. We like cooking and socializing but also enjoy privacy, which we also offer to our work awayers.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our home is situated in a rural area 30 minutes out of Zurich, that can be reached easily by public transport. Zurich is a vibrating city for young people that offers lots of opportunities for cultural experiences such as museums and galleries. Zurich also offers a dynamic and diverse nightlife with plenty of bars, clubs and music venues.
For those interested in outdoor activities, Zurich is located at the lake of Zurich and close to the mountains. With opportunities for biking, hiking and water-sports.
