I'm a 49 years old climate researcher at the University of Bergen, Norway. My wife is the same age and a teacher. We have five kids in total, ranging from 17 to 23 years of age. Only two of them still live with us, but three will be coming with us on vacation. We have done several exchanges with our previous homes, this is the first time for this house. We are very respectful of other people's homes.
