The surroundings of Kongens Lyngby include lakes, streams, forests, and beaches. However, the suburb also offers many shops, cafés and great restaurants as well as an indoor shopping centre and a department store.

Jane

We are a family of 4 - Phillip (54), Jane (50) and our two children Pauline (18) and Julius (15). My husband and I both work in IT. Phillip as a business architect and I as a process manager. 

We love to see new places and cultures, so don't hesitate to send a request.

My husband and I are interested in history, architecture and design just as we love nature and stunning scenery. Like most teenagers the children loves to spend the summer by the pool or at the beach, just as they love to go skiing during wintertime.

Since the children have school to attend, we are mainly interested in house swapping during extended weekends and school holidays. I.e. Autumn (week no. 42), Christmas (week no. 52 and no. 1), Winter (week no. 7), Easter (week no. 15), Summer (week no. 27-32). 

We have done 5 exchanges (Host 3 and Guest 2) on another site, on which we are still active. They were all very successful, as you can read from the reviews on the other site (HomeExchange.com  #1680524)

A clean and organised home is important to us and we promise to take good care of your home, just as we expect you to pay respect to ours. Home exchange is based on trust and we believe in building a bond and getting to know one another through written messages and video meetings, before exchanging homes. We also like to catch up after an exchange and we count on our guests to write a review, just as we will write one about our experience. So far we have only meet lovely people through home exchange - maybe you're the next?

By the way, we may also be open to exchanging cars. We own a Skoda Octavia Combi.
