Description
We, Sangita (German language teacher at Goethe Institut) and Pravin (Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary) live in a big residential complex in Kolkata, India. We have been to Europe as tourists many a times and visited countries like Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Estonia etc. But, this time we would like to experience real life of the people in a European country by living together with them and understanding their culture by actually spending time with them. I have stayed with a number of German families on my various seminars as a teacher of Goethe Institut and have always had lovely experiences. We are non smokers and eggetarians.
We have 2 sons, Raunak (29) living and working in Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Kaushal (24) is studying in Toronto.
