We are a German family and we have moved from Berlin to Norwich in 1999. Our grown up children both live in London and my husband also stays in London a lot of the time.
We are fully vaccinated and ready to travel.
I often travel on my own, but at times either my grown up children or my husband join me.
Our home is a semidetached brick house in the Norwich "Golden Triangle", which is within a 15-20 minutes  walking distance to the historic city centre.
We live in a quiet residential area with very friendly neighbours and good helpful friends very close by.
The house is arranged over 3 floors with a private garden and a small pond. Behind our garden is our wonderful "Heigham Park" with a play area, several tennis courts and a football / ball area, ideal for children and teenagers.
My husband is mainly based in London and our children have left home and live in London too.
Sometimes all 4 of us travel, but often I am just exchanging my house and one or both of my grown up children join me.
I might do an exchange on my own for a weekend.
Norwich is 30 to 40 minutes drive to some of the most spectacular beaches in the UK. Around Norwich are the famous "Broads", a unique patchwork of rivers and lakes where you can observe wildlife, go for nice walks and hire boats.
We are 1 hour away from Cambridge (by car or train) and 2 hours away from London. There is an international airport in Norwich. The closest London airport is Stansted, about 1.5 hour away, where you can arrive via Rynair or Easy Jet.
A car is not essential but very helpful in order to visit all the special places in the countryside. We are happy to exchange our Volvo V60.
