We are an international family of four (2+2) — mum from Poland, dad and children with UK roots, and kids born and raised in Norway. We speak English daily and feel very comfortable in international, multicultural environments.

We are a family traveling with young children (currently preschool/early school age) and enjoy calm, respectful home exchanges. We are happy to swap with a couple or a family with children, ideally in a similar life stage.

We live in Sola, Norway, perfectly located between Stavanger and Sandnes, close to the airport, beaches, cities, and nature. It’s a safe, family-friendly area with a great quality of life all year round.

We have already completed several successful home exchanges through other platforms and value trust, clear communication, and mutual respect. Each exchange has been a very positive experience for us.

We joined People Like Us to continue exchanging homes in a more long-term and meaningful way, and to connect with like-minded families from around the world.

We kindly ask to get in touch only if you are genuinely interested and available for an exchange, so we can openly discuss details and see if we’re a good match 😊
