The family

We live on a small island called Løkta on the coast of Norway. We went to Le Val Andre in summer 2010 and will go to Nimes, France in 2011. We are now open for 2012. If you look at a map you will find our island just south of the Arctic Circle. The nature here is lovely, and there are also plenty of possibilities for visiting the other islands, which surrounds us. You can use our boat both for fishing and sightseeing. Our membership number in HomeExchange: 51263

The island has about 140 inhabitants, and they are all friendly. If you want to go to the mainland, the ferry takes you to Sandnessjøen where you can do some shopping. This trip takes about one hour, and the ferry goes between three and five times a day. The ferry takes 100 cars and stops on Dønna too. It has a small restaurant on board.

We have a farm, which is about one km away from us. We have no animals there now. Our neighbours use the land for grass. If you want to visit the farm on your stay at us you are welcome. Anne’s parents live there. If you are interested in more information, we will be happy to send it to you. We also have lots of pictures.

We like: Swimming,walking in the nature, fishing, shopping, playing soccer, reading, athletics and a lot more. We also like relaxing together!

In January 2009 we had two new fosterchildren, they are soon 10 and 13. They loved the stay in Lyon and in Le Val Andre and dream of more bathing and new experiences other places.

Silje, 15, has started on her last year at school here at Løkta.

Pia, 25, is a teacher and works on a small island Rødøy just north of the Arctic Circle. She loves going with us and we hope she will be able to go to France next summer.

Ina, 27, will start working as a doctor in Mo i Rana i February. She and her boyfriend Rune went with us to Lyon and Le Val Andre, and they want to join us later too if possible.

In the years to come we hope to have the chance to travle with friends or family.
