Descrição
We are a family of five with three boys 11,18 and 20 and my French husband and me. We like to have some help in the garden with small building projects. So if you are handy and loves to build things you come to the right place. We have a beautiful rose and vegetable garden. We love food and I love to cook and bake. We love to have political and spiritual discussions and we are very interested in other cultures. We will make you feel comfortable and welcome you to enjoy the Swedish way of life.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We are a bilingual family we speak french, swedish and english of course. My husband is french and I am swedish. We live in a big house, an old school in the countryside about 1 hour from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden and 10 km outside a small village called Enköping. We are a family with three boys 14, 21 and 23. The oldest have moved out. I am a food and interior photographer who loves cooking, baking and gardening. My husband is an engineer at Ericsson. We have a big rose garden and a large kitchen garden where we grow our vegetables. We are used to people from other cultures. We have lived abroad for many years 3 years in England and 3 years in Australia. We are an international family with relatives in different countries like Turkey, England and France. We are a mix of everything my husband is spiritual and I am more grounded.

Acomodação
We live in an big old school in the countryside but the city is near. It is located 50 min drive away from Stockholm, Uppsala and Västerås. Stockholm is the capital and some of the biggest cities in Sweden with a lot of old history. We are also close to Arlanda international airport. From Enköping station you can take the train or bus to all the bigger cities around us. I love cooking so all the meals will be served in the kitchen and you are always welcome and take what ever you want to eat and drink.
Algo mais...
We have a lot of water around us so you can go swimming, hikes in the woods or go and see the big cities. Uppsala is a beautiful university town not far from us. We have two cats who live outside the house. We are a relaxed family a bit disorganised maybe but with a lot of laughter and a lot of love. We love to play boardgames in the evening after dinner but everything is optional - you do you. But a social person would fit right in.

I was treated like part of the family from day 1. We sat together almost every evening, had dinner together and played games. Mari is an excellent cook! I don't think you can get such high-quality and, above all, delicious food everywhere.
