About Our Family
Hi,
We are Guðmundur, a CEO/engineer (47 years old) and Marta, assistant professor in Computer Science at Reykjavik University (50 years). Marta will be a guest researcher at Leicester University during July-December 2014. We have three kids, 10 years old girl, 13 and 19 years old boys.
The whole family is looking forward to staying in the Leicester area. We have to find some place to stay over the period and home exchange would be the most affordable way for us.
What we need is a suitable house or a flat during the period, which precise start and finishing date can be negotiated.
Our house in Reykjavik is house a 5 bedroom house (Geitastekkur 2, 109 Reykjavik), near (200 square meters). It's is 250 m to a 24/7 low price foodstore. The house has a nice garden with vegetable garden, big hot outdoor tub and nice lawn. Our neighbours can help you in many way's to make everything work out. Nearby is Ellidaardalur (Salmon River valley) with beautiful nature. We are open for all changes - are planning a stay in Europe from July to August, But as well a shorter period in October.
We would like to exchange cars if possible and I have a motorcycle which could be exchanged as well.
