    Description

    Cheerful, international family of 4 with 3 cats is looking for (native) English, French or Spanish speakers. We live in beautiful Bavarian Swabia, near the Danube and near the Swabian Alb, one hour away from Munich, Stuttgart and Nürnberg and one hour away from the Alps. It is a perfect basis for discovering the South of Germany.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The mum is a social scientist and a behavioral scientist. She is originally from the Netherlands. The family dad is a computer scientist and a passionate voluntary firefighter. Our boys are 21 and 19. We like traveling and we like learning languages. If you want to improve your German and would like to discover Germany you will like it here. The father is an enthousiastic hobby cook and would like to cook with you.

  • Help

    Help

    We would appreciate a hand around the house (cook lunch, go foodshopping, garden, etc).
    We are also renovating a flat and would love a hand there (pulling wallpaper of the wall etc.)
    You will have plenty of time to travel or study. It is also an ideal area for cycling (Danube bicycle path) and hiking.

    The eldest son is 21 and goes his own way. The youngest son is 19 and will start university in October.

    It would be great if you could come over for a few weeks or months, discover the south of Germany, help around the house and speak English or French with us. I have just refreshed my Spanish (I am B1/B2). I would love to practice.


    The children can communicate in German, English (B2) and Dutch (B1/B2). The youngest son speaks French (B1/B2) and a bit of Spanish.

    We are looking forward to meeting you!
