Hallo,
wir sind eine lustige, entspannte und aktive Familie.
Anne arbeitet als Controllerin bei einer NGO in Hamburg - ich bin Sprecher und Filmemacher mit Filmproduktion in Lübeck.
We are a funny, relaxed and active family. We are very open minded and really enjoy getting to know the cultures. We try to spend as much time as possible with our children. We love to travel around in our freetime, the baltic sea is only 30 minutes from our home (great for swimming, kitesurfing, hiking). We try to live eco-friendly, eat organic food etc. Anne works at a non- governmental organisation in Hamburg as a controller and Frank works as a filmmaker in Lübeck. We have an aupair, which is supporting us with the kids, but mostly has her own travel plans and spents holidays with friends.
We have 3 chickens in a separate area in our garden, and 2 bengal cats (non allergic).

Read More...We had a fantastic time in our exchange home. During our first week there was a heatwave, but that was no problem with the lake on our doorstep and the bedrooms were very easy to keep cool. The beach area at the lake is very well kept and supervised; it closes later in the evening. There are good facilities (e.g. changing facilities, a small kiosk, play area). A small fee is charged. There was a large shallow area for non-swimmers, which was perfect for our five-your old (she could stand everywhere), and a further area for swimmers. It was never too busy, even during the hottest days. During our second week, we almost had the lake to ourselves on some occasions. Our children also loved playing in the garden, checking daily for fresh eggs and fresh vegetables, and racing down the hill on skateboards. We hardly needed to go out. During our second week we did explore Lubeck (historic and trendy at the same time - definitely worth visiting), Hamburg and the coast, amongst others, and visited Legoland on a two-day trip. In sum, we had a great holiday in a very comfortable home (loved the waterbed, too!) in great surroundings.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Opposite hour house is a coffee bar at the shore with a beautiful view on the lake and our house. If you like to go for a hike or run you just leave through our garden gate onto the lake. Or why not going on a Kanu ride with our Kanu or two SUP boards? Baltic Sea (Ostsee) is just 30km - 30 min. by car away - same to Hamburg, one of the nicest Towns in Germany.
There is more than nature in our Town and everywhere around us.
