We also have a cat, her name is Sofie and if you can take care of her during your stay, we would like that. If you cannot look after her, we can make other arrangements.
We have had 11 successful exchanges (Finland in 2003, France three times; 2008+2011+2013, Spain five times; in 2009, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2018 in 2014 we were in Miami, USA and in 2015 we were in Greece )through Intervac and we are looking forward to new adventures!

There's a lot to see and do in Copenhagen. It is an old city with many historical buildings but also a lot of new exciting archtecture.
There's water and canals around you in the city centre. There are different ways to see the city from the waterside; you can go on a tour on the canals in a tourist canal-boat. You can rent a little motorboat or you can go by kayak! You can even swim in a part of the harbour - the water is clean!
If you like museums you'll really like Copenhagen; there are a lot of different beautiful museums; historical, art, design... and many of them are free on Wednesdays :-)
There's excellent shopping in both malls and in the walking streets. Danish design is known world wide :-)
You should also see the royal family's castle while you are here. And besides that castle there are many other castles to check out, if you like that :-)
Even that Denmark is in Northern Europe, we have very nice beaches in the Copenhagen area.
