  Description

  We are a family of 4 . Vilde 8, Terne 13 and parents Melina 42 and Søren 45.
  
  We like to spend time together, play games, enjoy nature, swimming in our lake all year, and growing berries and fruits, rising chickens, sheep and tending our horse.
  We speak Danish in our family but all in the family understand and speak English too.
  We have been traveling a lot ourselves with and without kids and love to meet people from other parts of the world and learn about politics and lifestyle.
  
  We moved out of central Copenhagen a decade ago - and we are now living on a renovated 300 sqm homestead originally from 1924.
  
  The homestead is a hobby project with a few sheep, a dog, two cats, lots of chickens sometimes turkeys and ducks, a large lake, forrest areas, in general some really nice nature, with a lot of wildlife.
  
  We eat rather diverse, vegetarian but also fish, chicken and lamb and game - most, if not all, from our own land.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Travellers staying with us will learn about basic home projects, and taking care of animals. Everyday we eat dinner together my wife and I are both fairly good chefs, and we expect that we will be cooking together. Our kids (and us) are vey keen card og and board gamers, In the summer we play badminton the garden and swim the lake. All in all we will do our best to introduce travellers to Danish culture, politics and everyday life in a family. We have chosen a life in the countryside so visitors will also learn about the ups and downs of choosing a different lifestyle than busy city life.
