  • Description

    Description

    Family of 4 , kids aged 11 and 2.
    We also have 1 cat.
    We are a normal family, where dad works fulltime with IT, and mom works part time at kindergarden and school.

    At daytime both the kids will be in school/daycare.

    We are a calm family who appreciates good food, games and movies on the couch. We are trying to become more of a outdoor-life family, and every weekend we make sure to go on a short hike and play with the kids.

    We live in a small suburban village in Bjørnafjorden, right outside of Bergen City. It is just an 20 minute drive from Bergen, and we also have 2 smaller city centers 10-15 minutes from the house.

    It is a lot of great hiking opportunities in the area.

    We live in a small house right beside the road, and have a school, kindergarden and food store 5 minutes away from us with car.
    The area is calm and with a good mixture of old people, kids, some businesses and some farms.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    If you stay with us, you will have a great chance of learning norwegian. We also speak english of course.
    We can give you tips on where to take hikes, explore the city centers around us, where to travel with the ferry, or where you can taste local food.

    We have a small but caring family, and our friends and family are social and loving people who will take great care of you as well.

    We want our workawayer to feel like a part of the family, so a lot of the time will be with the kids, so that they feel safe.

    We hope to learn from your culture, and especially to learn more about your language. Maybe you can show us some good food ?
