Cozy and connected
Hi All :)
We are both teachers and therefore have lots of time to exchange :)
I am orginally from Tasmania, Australia and Vanessa is from Aberdeen, Scotland.
Having had the chance to travel a lot already, we are both keen to show our son how interesting the world can be as well as how friendly people can be. We are very big fans of such exchanges because we like to experince the culture and country from a not so touristy perspecitve. We also like the idea of our flat being used when we are away. Berlin is a great city and we are lucky that we are in such a good location.
Write if you are interested and we will see if we can exchange :)

Notes
Our location is a focal point of the Berlin art scene.
Countless pubs, restaurants, cafés, galleries and little shops create a day and nightlife atmosphere
We are both teachers, so we have a lot of chances to exchange. We are interested in most places, so write to us and lets see:)
Additional hood info:
abundance of playgrounds, as well as (second-hand) shops and cafes catering to the needs of young children and their parents.
Things to see in walking distance in the historic center of Alt-Berlin are: the churches of St. Nicholas and St. Mary, renowned Museum Island, the city hall Rotes Rathaus, the city administrative building Altes Stadthaus, the famous Fernsehturm, Brandenburg Gate at the end of the central boulevard Unter den Linden and more main tourist attractions of the city.

Neighbourhood
We are within 1min walking distance to Akornaplatz, a very nice park with a friday food market and a sunday flea market. 3 min walk to lovely cafés, restaurants, bars and independent boutiques. 3 min walk to Mauerpark, one of berlins most famous parks and markets.
We are just ten minutes by train/25 min walk from the city centre where you will find so much to do. From the historical monuments, galleries and muesums as well as shops and restaurants.
Great transport connections for most places in the city as well as the Main station and the Airport.
We are located on a quiet street with many lovely parks nearby for both adults and children.
