About Our Family
We are a family of two, Lars-Åke and Anne-Marie, with two grown up children who has moved. We live in a house in Ekerö, 40 km outside the city centre of Stockholm. We have been members in Intervac when our children were small but are now entering again. We have made three exchanges before, two in Denmark and one in France.
Lifestyle
We have been former members of Intervac and made three exchanges in the past. Intervac gives us a fantastic chance to discover other countries compared to regular touristing, as we get in better contact with the area we are visiting.
We are a retired couple who likes to go walking and trekking in new environments. Intervac offers us a unique opportunity to meet other people, to feed our curiosity the countries we are visiting. We generally try to travel extensively in the region of our guests, not only the close surroundings (when a car exchange is not possible, we generally try to rent a car).
