    Description

    A bicycle ride to Brabrand lake, stopping by Café Æblehaven and enjoying the view.
    Seeing Aarhus in colors in the panoramic walk on top of ARoS art museum.
    Walking the hills of Hasle Bakker with Saga, the fluffy dog.
    Sharing chores, meals, and small house projects, learning about Danish culture and finding out if the Danish language actually has intonation.

    We welcome you to Åbyhøj, 15 min. by bike from the center of Aarhus. We live in a house with a small garden, five min. from public transport.
    In our house lives: Karin - 46, Mille - 20, Lara - 17 and Saga our dog - 6

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Mainly, we are just happy to meet new people, and this is a great way to do so. And providing a base for someone exploring the world makes perfect sense to us. We hope that you will feel at home while staying with us and become a part of our daily lives.

    Help

    You would help take care of our dog (walking, playing, feeding etc.), assist on smaller house and garden projects, and we would take turns or share cooking etc.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room, and we share the house. Our dog has access to the whole house, but will accept if you do not want her in your room.
    We will eat dinner together most days, and hope you are happy to shop and cook some days. We eat fairly healthy food, and often vegetarian.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You will have flexible working hours, meaning that if you want to go to Copenhagen or Skagen on a long weekend this should be no problem.
    Aarhus is great and we love it. We would therefore be able to suggest many places to see - also the hidden gems and no-cost experiences.
    Karin works,Lara attends high school and Mille travels some of the time, so you and Saga will have the house to yourselves during most days.

    Can possibly accept pets

    We are great animal lovers, so the most important thing would be that your pet gets along with Saga. She is very friendly. Your pet would of course have to be equally friendly and not wake up the house at 4 in the morning howling :-).
