We live in a quiet family-friendly area and have very nice neighbours. We live next to the forest, close to public transport (bus: 2 minutes, train station Aarau: 10 min. by bus, 10 min. by bike, 20 min. to walk), close to several rivers (walking and cycling distance), close to two public swimming baths, close to the mountain chain "Jura", where you can make beautiful hikes and not far from the cities Zurich, Basel, Luzern and Bern (all within 30-60 minutes by train or car). There are several playgrounds in the area too and we have a bicycle trailer which fits in two children. There are plenty of museums and castles to explore nearby, nice restaurants and secure cycling paths(for example along the river Aare to the sandbanks where you can swim or to the only biological public swimming bath in Switzerland, situated in Biberstein: http://www.biberstein-ag.ch ). Aarau has a beautiful old town with a nice pedestrian zone with coffees and restaurants (http://www.aarau.ch a well known art gallery as well as some smaller galleries and a museum called naturama which is very child friendly (children can touch and try out many things). Something about ourselves
[
]
We are a young, uncomplicated family (binational Switzerland-Angola) with two children (2 and 4 years old). Susi works as a project director in the social work field and Joao works as a pedagogue. We both work parttime and share the educational and household-work. We like travelling a lot, are open minded and very enthusiastic to try out an home exchange. Our children are well educated and careful.
