• Myself, the significantly better half and the small boy find ourselves in the situation where we have nearly all of August, and all of September free and easy through a combination of shared parental leave and Holiday.

    We thought it might be nice to go away, and then we got thinking about spending more time away, but doing it cheaper, accommodation being the pricey thing, so, we are looking to swap our Streatham Hill two bed flat for similar, somewhere else. Places we really like and would be most keen on (in no particular order):

    New York
    Copenhagen
    Helsinki
    Cornwall
    Tokyo (ha, right?)

    Other places we'd give some thought to:
    Anywhere in Scandinavia pretty much
    Paris
    Berlin

    Our availability is from the 6th of August till the end of September for 2,3,4,5 weeks, but ideally in one chunk so we don't need to take numerous flights.

    I don't expect too much response, but if anyone has any pointers or advice please shout.

    This is our view by the way, great views of London from the balcony:

  • Sounds a great idea .

  • " the small boy " * congratulations emoji

    hope you find somewhere nice

  • Ha ha, thanks man, I'm still at GPS for the next couple of months if you find yourself in the area.

  • Is that good?

  • Ah, sorry, yes, we’ve started the process with them.

  • We’re in copenhagen. Flat with provisions for kids too.
    I’ll talk calendars with my wife later, we can most likely just get a week or so though...

  • Cool, let me know, we could do multiple locations, and if we come to CPH then LoLo can cook for us every night thus saving us money.

  • If I'm not mistaken @drøn lives on the other side of town but I'll happily put the barbecue on for you. Seriously though if both parties can make it happen that'd be great.

  • I’m sorry, I just realised there’s a limit on renting out in our house so we can’t do it this year.
    If you’re up for a short swap next year we’d love too though!

  • No worries man, we’re hoping to get something a bit longer term anyway - let’s see about next year.

  • Hmmm, looks like the Measles may have put paid to any NYC plans we had. Basically, we're easy on where we go, maybe the Lakes or somewhere UK would be nice too?
