Description
We are an open-minded family with a teenage girl and one toddler son. Both engineers, working in the same company, often working from home.
PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY: Our son is a bilingual toddler, in a very sensitive period of learning basics of both languages. It is important to communicate with him either in Swedish or in Croatian. You are welcome to join us if you already know, or you are willing to learn basics of one of those languages BEFORE visiting us. We would award you with pocket money, up to 2000 SEK per month if you come with such a language level that you can talk with us. Minimum stay is 3 months. It can be shorter only if you have higher language level, or you visited us before.
Besides, we love nature, long walks and bike rides, swimming, music, tennis, skiing, flying, board games, laughing ... it’s actually a lot of what we love. We are originally from Croatia and have been living in Sweden since 2020. We bought a flat and moved to a quiet city close to Stockholm and only 10 mins from Arlanda Airport. My husband and I have a great passion for flying, and we are both glider pilots. We spend many weekends in our flying club.
