Description of the home we are offering for exchange
*** looking for an exchange summer 2024 open for proposals ***
We live in a nice house next to an ecological park with small lakes. We travel with two persons, Damiaan is a web designer and owner of web shop Dutch-Clogs.com. Anja is yoga teacher. We have had more than 25 exchanges (HomeExchange and HomeLink) and are looking forward to exchange for summer vacations (June till September) and also to exchange for long weekends and mini breaks. Our son (30) lives in Berlin.
Amsterdam 1 1/4 hour drive
Rotterdam 1 hour drive
Belgium - Antwerp 1.15 hour drive
Germany - Gogh 0.45 hour drive
Our house is situated at the border of a city with 58.000 inhabitants. Next to our house is an ecological park with small lakes. From there you can walk through the fields. You can ride horse nearby and play golf. We think we have the best of two worlds: we have all the opportunities of a city on bike-distance (centre of the city is 5 minutes by bike), and the quietness of living near nature! A green environment, but several nice towns rather nearby.
