House close to lakes and the center of Göteborg
We are a family of three, Roland, Camilla and Alexander, who lives in a green and hilly part of Göteborg. Our house is nice and cosy. There are games for the kids and a small, but nice garden with fruit trees.
The city center is only 5 km away, easy accessible by car, bus or bike. But our house is only a few 100 m from parks and forests where you can walk or bike – or swim in the lakes. Outside Göteborg there is a wonderful archipelago, easy to reach by public boats.
For the summer 2015 we are looking for an exchange with Normandy, Alsace and Annecy region in France. But don’t hesitate to contact us, we are open to other destinations as long as it is a house close to sea, lake or pool.
We, that is Roland and Camilla, both teachers, and Alexander, 16.

Our Neighbourhood
Göteborg is the second largest city of Sweden with wide range of cultur, music, museums, beaches and shopping - and the biggest theme park in Scandinavia. Outside Göteborg there is a very nice archipelago, easy accisble by boat from Göteborg.
Our house is in Björkekärr, a nice neighbourhood 5 km east of city centre. You reach the city in 10 minutes by car, 15 by bus and 20 by bike. It's close to a park and to the forest with lakes where it’s possible to swim. The forest is also great for walking and biking. The pictures are from our street and the nearby park.

About Our Family
Our family is Camilla, 56. She is teaching German and Swedish at high school. She likes reading, work out and is taking care of our dog. Roland, also 56, is a former journalist, now teaching writing and journalism at senior high school. He likes cooking, reading, going to the gym and walking with the dog. Alex, 16, is doing his first year in seniorhigh school. He is interested inpolitics, history, ice hockey and his friends. Our newest family member is Pontus, a cocker spaniel, born in '09. He likes female dogs, digging up our garden and above all: eating. But nex summer he stays in Sweden, when we are exchanging homes. If Alex' grandmother, 91, is still healthy, she will visit us for a week during the exchange.
We have exchanged homes 8 times - in Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland and Belgium - and we have really loved it.
For the summer 2015 we are looking for an exchange with Normandy, Alsace and Annecy region in France. But don’t hesitate to contact us, we are open to other destinations as long as it is a house close to sea, lake or pool.
We, that is Roland and Camilla, both teachers, and Alexander, 16. If Alex' gandma, now 91, still is healthy, she will join the rest of the family for a week or so during the exchange.. We use our car for the exchange - so we can't change cars.
