We have been a member if homeforexchange since 2010 - We made our first exchange in the summer 2010 with a french family near Paris - a great succes for all of us. In the summer 2011 we exchanged with a family in St Malo - also a great experience. And the summer in 2012 we also exchanged with a family near Paris. Year 2014 we were in Granada so good! - and in 2015 we swapped with a family in Nice - all great swaps. In 2017 in may we had a great swap in Malaga, Spain and in summer 2017 we had a great swap in Pilar de la Horadada, Spain. So great!
Summer in 2021 was a Swap with a greek Family, hot - but so great. We loved it.
We are open for a swap in summer july 2022
Option

Dorthe's reviews
As a host (6)“La maison, pleine de charme est très agréable à vivre. Elle est entourée d\'un beau jardin avec plein de jeux pour les enfants. La vie au danemark est très relaxante, les gens y sont très gentils. Dorthe et Karl nous ont donné plein de conseils très utiles pour visiter ce beau pays. Un échange qui restera dans nos très bons souvenirs de voyage.”
“We have had a great holiday at Dorthe and Stepphen\'s home. The house was really comfortable, being located in a quiet and peaceful area away from the fuss of the city but close enough to go to the capital on a day trip. The Vorgdrups have treated our home with respect and left it so clean that it seemed as if nobody had stayed in it, facilitating the exchange greatly and contacting us every time we needed something. There were lots of information in the house with plenty of suggestions to visit the whole country. We strongly recommend their home and their family for an exchange, it has been an amazing experience. Thanks a million. María José, Antonio, Antonio Jr. and María.”
“We enjoyed our exchange with Steffen and Dorthe very much. They are very friendly and easy going people and we had the pleasure of meeting them before and after our exchange. Their relaxing and charming home is located near Copenhagen and others interesting places. It was a very nice experience for us and we are ready to start it again.”
“We had a wonderful holiday in Denmark. The gardens of the house are perfect for the whole family: barbecues, bicycles, trampoline, little house for kids. We enjoyed every single meter of it. Inside of the house there are millions of toys for kids and for lovers cooks. Everyone was so kind, neighbours and family's friends. Dorthe is just a very nice and positive person. Our communication was very easy and friendly, facilitating every process before, during and after the swap. The house is perfectly located to visit Copenhagen, beaches, woods, palaces, the cost all around 30' and 1 hour. It was perfect in all senses. Our house back was in perfect conditions. PRETTY RECOMMENDED¡¡¡¡”
“We had a lovely time in Dorthe and Steffen's home in Denmark. It is cosy and artistically decorated, but at the same time completely family friendly. It's very conveniently situated to visit Copenhagen and all the beautiful northern and eastern coast of Zealand. There is also plenty of nature (walks, biking, swimming in the lake) to enjoy right on their doorstep. Dorthe, Steffen and their children were the perfect guests. Considerate, respectful and they left our house in perfect condition. We would exchange again with them anytime!”
