House Swap / Home Exchange in 2012

You are interested in Europe?

You live in or near San Francisco?

Here's your chance for a sabbatical or a long vacation of a different kind: a move to Germany for several months. A nice house in Hannover is waiting for you, free of charge.

The house is situated in the center of Europe: west of Berlin, south of Hamburg, north of Munich, east of Amsterdam. Going to London or to the original gondolas of Venice is like going to Las Vegas, and Madrid or Moscow are not further than your way to Seattle.

By the way, most Germans speak English.

What we are looking for

A place to stay near Berkeley or San Francisco in the second half of 2012. We don't need much: At least two rooms to live in. But we don't mind if your place to swap is bigger.

Who we are

Susanne (48), high school teacher (subjects: German, arts, religion)

Thomas (48), professor (new media) and computer journalist, visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley
