Dear Intervac friends, we would like to exchange homes and cars with a nice Intervac family somewhere in Europe with an airport not too far away and nice sightseeing and nature and adventure possibilities for our small family. Our little ones are 7 and 5 years old and well behaved and sports and nature loving. As we had a terrible Intervac exchange 2 years ago, we have gotten really hesitant to do Intervac again, but we would like to build up a new environment of trust in Intervac and its members again. |

Big newly built house in the countryside close to Salzburg city "Sound of Music"
275 qm big house only recently built in a nice an quite area in Neumarkt am Wallersee, only 5 minutes from our lake!
Public transport takes you to Salzburg in only 16 minutes!
The lake is reached within a 5 minute drive, you walk to the village where you can find shops, a pharmacy etc in only 10 minutes!
Surrounded by mountains this house is the perfect place to start your trip to the Salzkammergut, go hiking, etc.... perfect for active outdoor families as we have 5 bikes and a thule chariot for our little ones!
As we have just joined Intervac again, we are still working on taking pictures of our house and its surroundings!
We did a wonderful exchange with an Irish family, but I did loads of great exchanges with my parents when I was still a child, so I definitely know how Intervac works!!! We had just awesome experiences!
Our house was recently built in a quite one-family-home area in Neumarkt am Wallersee and is surrounded by very nice neighbours with lots of kids to play with!
On the ground floor there is a kitchen with a dining area and a separate living room with 2 hammocks, a big sofa and an upright piano. There is also a toilet, the cloakroom and little storage. We have a basement with a double guest room and an office.
The first floor is the one with three nice childrenˋs rooms and the big bathroom.
The second floor is totally for the parents with its master bedroom, a walk in closet and a private bathroom. Our little one also sleeps in our bedroom, as he is only 8 months old right now!
