Active couple that enjoy outdoor life and travelling
Agnetha (former principal) and Thomas (consultant) live here. Our son is an adult and lives in Stockholm.
We like outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, sailing, kayaking etc. and traveling. We have done two Intervac exchanges about 20 years ago to the US and to France (old profile SE5502). Now when we have more time, we have started to do home exchanges again.
