  Descrição

  Hi Dear people,
  
  We are two women couple, raising our baby girl (from 2023 June), married, and living in Denmark. We are both 36 years old. I am a Senior IT Project manager and my wife is a pastor in the Lutheran church of Denmark. We speak English at home, as I am from Lithuania and my wife is Danish.
  
  We have this huge house with a guest room and we would love to host some people here, have a cultural exchange, and get some of your ideas and help with things around like gardening, painting some walls, taking care in the house of daily stuff, helping with cleaning and etc. We live pretty busy lives (as have little child who goes now to daycare and we work full time), but still Workaway for me is a lot about culture, so we are looking for someone here to have a cultural experience, get to know you and etc. while giving us a helping hand in a hectic family life in a house :). But at the same time - be quite independent seeing the town and etc. A few young people were living with us and they enjoyed having talks with us - I am focused on job and career and always can help you to find what you want to do next and my wife is very interested to discuss philosophical questions with :). So in order for you to have time, we do not host people who come to study / work in Denmark (then I believe you need to rent a place somewhere).
  
  We live in Copenhagen, a few minutes away from the train station and 10/12 minutes by train to the city center. We also have an extra bike (even if it is a pretty old one..).
  
  You would get your own room and then there a lot of space in the house we share, but many rooms so you can always find a calm place to read a book. We would expect you to be quite proactive - taking food from the fridge, cooking if needed - as I do not have time to serve food :). But happy to do shopping for food. As we also have a baby, we can't promise full silence - as a baby cries at night and etc. Also, you must enjoy being around kids - the little one is around a lot and wants to interact with people. So please, once you write to us, mention how you feel about being around kids!
  
  It is also important that you speak good enough English (would say at least B1-B2).
  
  We would also prefer two people at once who can share the same guestroom - a couple, friends or so - as I work daily in the office, so not around during the working day. Happy to suggest what to see, and happy to do something during the weekend, but you also need to be independent enough to enjoy Copenhagen.
  
  If you have any carpenter experience, that would be super amazing because I would love to learn more myself.
  
  Moreover, it is hard to plan more than two months in advance, so I would prefer if you write max two months before you plan to come :)

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  My wife is Danish and can talk a lot about danish culture. We also usually have dinners here with other danish people and she works in the church - so you can learn a lot interesting stuff about Denmark. Of course, no need to be religious (I am not religious myself) and all kind of diversity is super welcomed in our house.
  I am Lithuanian, working in IT, so would be happy to have mentoring talks and etc. if you wish.

  We have huge house of 220 m2. You would get your own room, we would share all other rooms in house. There are two toilets here in the house used by all people staying in house.

  Algo mais...

  Well, Copenhagen has endless possibilities to enjoy town, we live next to train station so super easy to reach anything in Copenhagen. Also, you can bike around.
  
  We would like 1-2 people at once. Someone who likes order, likes spending time around kid, likes taking care of the house as it would be yours (so cleaning after yourself in bathroom is not an extra duty), loves gardening (I would love to hear your ideas) and speaks good enough English (at least B1-B2 as with busy life with kid it is very complicated with someone who can't speak English).
  Sometimes we have more guests in the house so you will have a possibility to meet more people here.
