We have been a member of another exchange platform since 2010 - We made our first exchange in the summer 2010 with a french family near Paris - a great succes for all of us. In the summer 2011 we exchanged with a family in St Malo - also a great experience. And the summer in 2012 we also exchanged with a family near Paris.
Year 2014 we were in Granada so good! - and in 2015 we swapped with a family in Nice - all great swaps. In 2017 we had a great swap in Malaga, Spain and in summer and also in 2017 we had a great swap in Pilar de la Horadada, Spain. So great!
Summer in 2021 was a Swap with a greek Family, hot - but so great! This year 2022 we globeexcanged with a family in Sweden. Our first PLU globe were used - and it was a great exchange.
We can also exchange cars
The space
Great house with room for a family or max 4-5 adults.
Our house is 125 m and has 3 floors - basement included.
Guest access
You will have access to all the house and garden
Notes
Be aware we only have one bathroom.
Our first floor has low roof in sides of the rooms. Not a problem for normal high people - very cozy - but for a people about 2 meter it will might feels a bit small.
Dog - We have a dog - But when you are here she will be on holiday. We clean before your arrive - so you will not spot a dog here :-)
Also an option
We will sometimes like might to travel with our dog (border collie 4 years and well behaved). But only to a country near us.
Another option
If you want - we can take care of your dog or cat.
Pottery workplace
I (Dorthe) do pottery in my sparetime, so I have a little workplace with a little wheel, table throwing, glazes etc for that which is possible to use. If you are a routines potter it is possible to use my ceramic oven or making a raku og saggarfiring in the garden.
Dorthe can aldo burn and glaze your items and send it to you. No extra costs 😉

We stayed in Dortes home for a week and it was a very good experience. We felt very welcome. And the house has a lot of soul. We went swimming every day in the lake just 2 km away (Buresø).
We loved Dorthe and Steffen's house! It is very cosy, well decorated (especially thanks to the ceramics and paintings by Dorthe) and pleasant to live in. The garden is really magnificent, very large with a vegetable patch, a summer kitchen, a spa and a swimming pool. The location is ideal, Copenhagen is easily accessible by train (about 30/40 minutes).
Important detail: Dorthe and her family are charming, generous and very pleasant people with whom it was a real pleasure to talk before, during and after our stay.
Thank you for everything !
Dorthe and her family are very reliable, lovely people. It was a wonderful exchange. Dorthe was also easy to reach during this time. We got a lot of great tips for the area. In addition, the house was clean and comfortable. We can fully recommend Dorthe, her family and their home.
Dorthe and her family are the perfect exchange partner: fluid and friendly communication, house left perfectly clean and in order.
You come back when you want!
Our house was treated wonderfully, we even got a beautiful bouquet of flowers and delicious sweets when we came home.
This was our first house exchange ever, so there were some mixed feelings and expectations, but we couldn’t have had better guests, Dorthe, Steffen, their two children and their dog. We had good contact with Dorthe and Steffen before and through out their stay and everything went smooth. Our home was in the best of hands and a pleasure to come home to.

Søren and his family stayed in our house for a week - a globe exchnge.

The family are so friendly and easy to communicate with ❤️
We just loved this house - with all the positive vibes! Everything is great - and all you can need is there - even a great terrace and a big spa. Nice and clean - and great communication - with welcome info, houseguide and messages via whatsapp. We also enjoyed our videochat before arriving.

This family are so great as guests. They took hreat care of our house and we had a good communication. Even our teenager and theirs had a great chat - as they found out they were reading same books and liked the same music :-)
Our house was left clean and nice ❤️
We had a great holiday in Paula, Christopher and Angelos home. Its only 30 minutes from the center of Hamborg. And Hamborg is a great city with a lot to see.
Their home is at the country side with a great terrace and garden. Its a relaxed home and you will feel the vibes of roleplay and Games of thrones :-) Our kids loved the videogames!
The house is very big, so we did not even used all the rooms.
Their daughter has a great room for playing on the topfloor.
When we arrived we were welcomed with a huge basket of wine, chocolate etc.
We chatted via whatsapp and text messages and the communication was fine :-)
A great holiday!!!
Everything looked fine when we came home. Paula even washed towels and bedlinen - thanks.
They were great guests and took good care if our house.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We stayed in Peter and Lenas great house in sweden, on the west coast. Everything was perfekt! We have exchanged 8 times before - everytime we loved it. This time was special as we just changed from another organisation to PLU, And we found out that it is great with the PLU friends. Malin and Martin helped us, invited for dinner with another PLU exchangefamily and they even arranged a tour on a sailboat ❤️ Great holiday☀️❤️
