About Our Family
We are a couple living in Garðabær with our 26 years old son, we also have two older sons and four grand sons. We have always travelled a lot both in Iceland and in Europe. We are playing golf in the summertime and we have also went many times to Italy and Austria for skiing. We made our first home exchange to Spain in September 2019 and liked it a lot. We are looking forward to make some more.
Because of Covid-19, we could not make our exchange as we had planned, but hopefully next year will be better than now!
Lifestyle
Our hobbies are golf, skiing, and travelling. We have been often to Spain to play golf and to Italy skiing. We have also been in a cruise in Greek islands and cruising from St. Petersburg to Moscow. This is our first time in homeexchange and we think that is a great opportunities to discover some new places to visit.
