Hi everyone!
We are Trine and Trond, enthusiastic home exchangers since 2004, but new to the Forum.
We live in a quaint coastal hamlet outside the town of Fredrikstad in south-eastern Norway, less than 1,5 hrs from Oslo and just one hour from the Swedish border. Our area is a Norwegian summer paradise. We mostly exchange our cottage, a log cabin annex, on the same property as our main home. We have four lived-in and loved homes listed, with different availabilities.
We are currently mostly looking for Northern Europe during summer, but we have started planning for our dream trip to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in 2027 or 2028. When possible, we prefer reciprocal exchanges, sim or non-sim.
Fun fact: Our three adult children grew up with home exchange, and now we are looking forward to give our newborn granddaughter great home exchange vacations and memories as well.
Our cottage by the sea: Charming log cabin with sea views near beaches - available spring and late summer 2026
So lovely to see that you have joined - i’m sure that as an experienced HE member you will have so much to add to this Forum in the form of advice and knowledge.
