Our house is a classic wooden house from the 1950s, with windows overlooking the beautiful city of Trondheim and the fjord. It is spacious for a family of four. In our garage we have a Moonboard for bouldering.
The Space
We have a big veranda with most of the day and all evening, easily accessible from a big living room with a high ceiling. Our kitchen is original from the 50s, but upgraded and very functional and cozy. We have three bedrooms (two children's rooms, one adult room). For bigger groups it is possible to also use the smaller apartment in the cellar which has one big bedroom and a separate livingroom/kitchen. We also have a small garden with flowers, berries and herbs and vegetables available for anyone living here. The house may include our cat, Milli, a friendly and fun somali who acts more like a little dog than a cat.
Guest Access

Neighbourhood
Our house is situated in a nice area of Trondheim called Singsaker. It is mainly residential with a lot of traditional wooden houses and gardens around. The neighbourhood is quiet and relaxed, with a lot of families with children living in the area.
A 20 minute walk through streets lined with
Trondheim's characteristic colourful wooden houses will take you to Trondheim's centre with
Nidarosdomen (the world's northenmost gothic medieval cathedral) and quaint little streets, and a vibrant restaurant and café scene. The town is surrounded by forests and the fjord with lots of nice hiking areas.
Getting to my home
Fly to Trondheim airport (Værnes) from Oslo, or directly from London, Riga or Amsterdam. Take the train from Oslo (approx 7 hours). Buses go often from the centre to 5 minutes away from our house.
Nearest airport
Trondheim Lufthavn Værnes, 35 minutes away by car.
Getting Around
5 minute walk to the nearest small grocery shop. 20-30 minutes walk to the centre, or a 5-10 minute bus ride (5 minutes walk to the bus stop). We also have bicycles it is possible to borrow.

Ane&Eivind
We are a family with two daughters (8 and 4) living in a historic and quiet neighbourhood in Trondheim, Norway. We enjoy dancing in our living room, playing "catch the rubber band" with our cat, Milli, hiking in the forests around Trondheim and visiting the library and other cultural events in our town. Eivind and Ane are both doctors working at the local hospital.
We love to travel in a way where we can pretend we live somewhere else, get acquainted with the neighbourhood and explore other ways of living.
In 2028 we are planning to live 6-12 abroad as a family adventure, preferably in Australia or New Zealand. We are looking for a long term exchange opportunity in this period. Otherwise we are open to shorter exchanges.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
