Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt und wir haben gern mit der finnischen Familie getauscht.
Todella hyvät keskustelut meilitse ja intervacin välityksellä etukäteen, kun sovimme asunnon vaihdosta ja sovimme käytännön asioita. Koti oli hyvän esitelty Intervacin sivuilla ja vastasi esittelyä.
We met our hosts at the airport. A friendly Finnish family ! We communicated throughout our exchange. The apartment is very beautiful and very well placed. Close to a bus stop, so it was very easy to get to the hyper center of Helsinki while being quiet and surrounded by greenery ! We are delighted with this exchange!

We are a family with two boys at the age of 13 and 15.
We enjoy good food, beautiful scenes and experiences, culture, music and various sports (skiing, snowboarding, biking...).
We, Terhi and Mikko, are having the normal Finnish holidays, which means that we have 4-5 weeks in summer time, 1 week around Christmas and 1 week in February. For those periods we have a possibility for home exchange.
We are a family that takas good care of our home and we would do the same at your home :)
