-- IMPORTANT NOTICE --
We are living approx. 65 km outside of Copenhagen (1½ hours by train). If you want to have a place to stay in the city of Copenhagen, consider writing to someone else. However, if you are interested in nature, eco-villages, gardening, bee-keeping, communities, organic food or a family-friendly place to stay you are more than welcome to visit us.

We are Elisabeth and Georg and we live in an eco-village 65 km north of Copenhagen (see http://dyssekilde.dk/uk). We also have two daughters, Ruth and Edda, 4 and 2 years old.

There is plenty of space out here, we share a big garden and are busy working on our house. We both have interests in traveling and outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, kayaking and ultimate frisbee. We have a sustainable and conscious life style, try to eat little meat and organic food, use bikes instead of cars and switch off the light when leaving a room.

Georg works as a research engineer in a hearing aid company and loves to play music. Elisabeth spends a lot of time in the garden and works as a teacher.

Ich weiß nicht, ob und wie ich die Welt verändere.
Ich kenne nicht die Kraft und die Grenzen meiner Ausstrahlung.
Im Glauben an das Leben und seine Weisheit
gehe ich auf der dünnen Kruste der Erde und hoffe, mehr aufzubauen, als ich zerstöre.

Mit meinen Gedanken, mit meiner Intuition und meinen Empfindungen versuche ich zu erahnen, wo mein Platz ist im Zauber der Dinge.

Ich ahne die Weite, die mich umgibt.
Ich ahne die Weite, aus der ich komme und in die ich gehe.

Ulrich Schaffer

-----------------------------------------------------

I do not know if and how I do change the world.
I do not know the power and the limits of my aura.
With faith in life and his wisdom
I am on the thin crust of the earth and hope to build more than I destroy.

With my thoughts with my intuition and my feelings I try to imagine where my place is in the magic of things.

I sense the vastness that surrounds me.
I sense the vastness from which I come and I will go to.
