Update: we have concluded our plans for summer 2023, but are looking for a 2-3 week US exchange in June/July/August 2024 (preferably west coast or Florida but open to suggestions!)
————————-

We are a family of four adults (five, if our coming daughter-in-law joins us) who greatly enjoys travelling and Intervac'ing!

Our house, with a large garden, is situated in a very green area at beautiful Jeløya, a small island just outside of Moss city centre. Walking distance to the city center with shops and restaurants. 100 meters from the house, there is a well assorted Coop grocery store.

Jeløya is famous for its beaches (even some blue flag beaches!) and stunning nature, including a forest nature reserve where you can take nice long walks or do your morning run. Moss is also a good place for travelling around - it takes you 30 minutes by train (45 minutes by car) to get to Oslo, and the same distance to get to the Swedish border-crossing and the city of Strømstad.  Just down the street you find the Bastøy Ferry. In only 30 minutes, it takes you over to the city of Horten and the E18 highway to the Southern coastline with cities like Tønsberg, Sandefjord and Kristiansand.
Moss is also known for its many art galleries (Classic but perhaps even more so, modern art).

The house is situated in very safe and stable surroundings, a kids' paradise with large garden (including huge trampoline!). The house has 3 good bedrooms with comfortable sleeping for up to 5/6 people; Main bedroom with a 160x200 bed, and the two other rooms has a 140x200 each. In addition we have a double sleeper couch in the downstairs living room. Two living rooms (the main one upstairs and a smaller downstairs) , two bathrooms and a practical kitchen. Underfloor heating in both bathrooms, hallway and one of the bedrooms. Very nice fireplace at the ground floor. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and a Nespresso machine.

Huge pull-down TVscreen in the downstairs living room, 55' Tv upstairs with Netflix, HBO etc. PS and Wii can be arranged (with plenty of games). Free high speed Wi-fi. Aircon in the living room upstairs.
Safe parking.
Exchange of car possible but not necessary.
 We have both a dog ( brown labradoodle born in 2014) and a Cat (born December 2022), but neither of them will be at home during the exchange unless you want some company🤩.
