The Holbergs

To experience and explore Denmark: The place where most happy people live ha ha just joking. DK has been awarded The happiest place on earth but since I am a therapist I do see a lot of unhappy people. Anyway. We live in a tiny country so it is easy to see many places and neighbour countries. Because we as a family have lived a lot of different places (7 different countries) and we are open to meeting international people. We would love to hear about your culture and though we are introverts ourselves, we enjoy chatting a bit over lunch or dinner. If you like nature, countryside and calm living then you should come here. Except sometime it is not quiert here as we have teenagers... so sometimes we have teenage fights etc. but its all part of the experience and you can always go into your room. If you like yoga then feel free to use our yoga mats or come with me to the yoga place I teach sometimes.

We are not a typical Danish family though. I would say we are more international. I am adopted from South Korea and Sven is from Germany. We have 2 teenagers (21.05.2011): Isabella and Alexander and our dog Foxy. We are easy going people but both introverts and very busy so you need to also be independant and selfdriven as we have crazy periods where we work all the time. If you are very social and need to be around people all the time then this is not a good place because we are so busy ourselves. We will have time to chat during lunch and dinner but we don't have time to be social more than that. There is no stupid question in this house and if you dislike something please come and tell us so we can change things for the better. Working hours are 5 hours a week and 2 days off. It is mainly a housekeeping position because tasks are mostly cleaning and cooking but also other easy ad hoc tasks will need to be done like garden work or "babysitting" our teenagers if we are not home. But it is not a childcare position because our kids are so big. Copenhagen (the capital in Denmark) is 45 min. away by train and you can borrow a bike to go to the beach (5km away) or to Næstved town (5 km away). If you like nature then you will love our place as we have forest and beach very close.
