Our family home

We are definitely not your standard family but at the same time perhaps more standard than first expected. With us you can get a bit of several worlds/cultures. We are a Dutch/German family living in Norway. We can help you with the language. We like to go out and enjoy everything Norway has to offer as much as possible. But we also enjoy just relaxing at home. We can share information about all the things around here that you can do. During wintertime you can choose from different skicenters and go ice-skating on the lakes. In the summer you can swim, hike or cycle to explore the beautiful nature surrounding us. In the village center you find different shops, gyms, a movie theatre, a library and more. We also have a local airport. The nearest city is Ålesund where you find a bigger airport with direct flights to different places in Europe (f.ex. Amsterdam). The city center of Ålesund is full of history and worth a visit and you will also find a saltwater aquarium here.

We have a big family and can be pretty chaotic and loud at times so you have to be able to live with that 🙂. Besides our 6 kids we have 4 cats, fostercats, a puppy and a horse. Some keywords for our family (we are many so not everything applies to all): K-pop, dancing, music, swimming, reading, animals, spending time together, netflix, talking, taking walks, skiing, anime. We are looking for someone that is self-confident, used to a lot of live and chaos and social/outgoing. We prefer someone to stay for at least 1 month, possibly more. Living with us means you become part of the family for the time you are here. I think it's fair to say that the more you invest in getting to know us and the children, the more you get out of your experience. We realise we don't have a standard family and understand there may be things you don't understand or are curious about. We don't mind that at all but we would love to share our story rather than being judged so please be open minded and ask whatever comes to mind.
