We are a Dutch speaking family with two great kids/teenagers, who love living in Brussels.
We love to travel, but don't like to follow commercial paths. We like visiting cities, but also biking and hiking in rural areas.
For this summer (july 2021), we are looking for an exchange in neighbourcountries France, Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg.. or the south of Belgium...
Brussels is coming to life again, but still calm on the other hand... An ideal moment to visite ;-)

Within 10 min walk, we could be in the center, and the numerous ligns of metro, bus, tram offer a lot of possibilities to go everywere in a short time. We were amazed of how many places we visited in a week, with our 3 kids, not forgetting to rest and enjoy the house when we wanted. Ilse gave us very good informations and advices. Thank you again and best wishes for 2020 to the whole family! Claire, Olivier and Noé, Ethel, Solal
